Good Friday

Isaiah 53

1 Who has believed our message
and to whom has the arm of the LORD been revealed?

2 He grew up before him like a tender shoot,
and like a root out of dry ground.

He had no beauty or majesty to attract us to Him,

nothing in His appearance that we should desire Him.

3 He was despised and rejected by men,
a man of sorrows, and familiar with suffering.

Like one from whom men hide their faces

He was despised, and we esteemed him not.

4 Surely He took up our infirmities
and carried our sorrows,

yet we considered Him stricken by God,

smitten by Him, and afflicted.

5 But He was pierced for our transgressions,
He was crushed for our iniquities;

the punishment that brought us peace was upon Him,

and by His wounds we are healed.

6 We all, like sheep, have gone astray,
each of us has turned to his own way;

and the LORD has laid on him

the iniquity of us all.

7 He was oppressed and afflicted,
yet He did not open his mouth;

He was led like a lamb to the slaughter,

and as a sheep before her shearers is silent,

so He did not open his mouth.

8 By oppression and judgment He was taken away.
And who can speak of His descendants?

For He was cut off from the land of the living;

for the transgression of my people he was stricken.

9 He was assigned a grave with the wicked,
and with the rich in his death,

though He had done no violence,

nor was any deceit in his mouth.

10 Yet it was the LORD's will to crush Him and cause Him to suffer,
and though the LORD makes
His life a guilt offering,
He will see his offspring and prolong His days,

and the will of the LORD will prosper in His hand.

11 After the suffering of His soul,
He will see the light of life
and be satisfied;
by His knowledge
my righteous servant will justify many,
and He will bear their iniquities.

12 Therefore I will give Him a portion among the great, [g]
and He will divide the spoils with the strong,
[h]
because He poured out His life unto death,

and was numbered with the transgressors.

For He bore the sin of many,

and made intercession for the transgressors.

Matthew 27:50
50
And when Jesus had cried out again in a loud voice, He gave up his spirit.

Galations 1:3-4
3Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ,4who gave Himself for our sins to rescue us from the present evil age, according to the will of our God and Fathe

1 Thessalonians 5

9For God did not appoint us to suffer wrath but to receive salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ. 10He died for us so that, whether we are awake or asleep, we may live together with Him.

1 Peter 2:24
24He himself bore our sins in his body on the tree, so that we might die to sins and live for righteousness; by His wounds you have been healed.

1 Peter 3:18
18For Christ died for sins once for all, the righteous for the unrighteous, to bring you to God. He was put to death in the body but made alive by the Spirit,


Jesus paid it all

all to Him I owe

sin had left a crimson stain

He washed it white as snow.
