Prayerfully read through Isaiah 53, realizing that it's talking about what the Lord, our Creator, went through just so that you, personally, can have eternal life. In light of what this amazing truth tells us about the character of God, why should Christ be first and foremost in our lives?

When I read through this I saw how much Jesus has done for me. Everything that I deserved it happened to Him. Through His suffering I am able to be healed. This is an amazing act of love. I have never liked injustice , it is not fair for one person to be punished for another’s crimes.  Jesus not only suffered for me , but for all of humanity. No matter what we have done , when we accept the life of Christ because of His stripes we can experience healing. Because of sin humanity is messed up, but because of Christ humanity can grow up. We can grow up to become the men and woman that we were originally created to be.

Prayer: Lord God Almighty, we thank you for all that you have done for us. We thank you for your grace and mercy. Help us to see the beauty of Jesus Christ. Thank you in Jesus name amen.
