Surely He hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem Him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted. But He was wounded for our trangressions, He was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon Him; and with His stripes we are healed. All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the Lord hath laid on Him the iniquity of us all. For when we were yet without strength , in due time Christ died for the ungodly. God commendeth His love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. For He hath made Him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in Him. Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, but with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot. The preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God. We preach Christ crucified, unto the Jews a stumblingblock, and unto the Greeks foolishness; But unto them are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God , and the wisdom of God. - Isaiah 53: 4-6; Romans 5:6,8 ; 2Corinthians 5:21 ; 1Peter1:18- 19; 1Corinthians 1:18, 23- 24.
