Man of Sorrows

In Isaiah 53:3-4, speaking of Jesus, the prophet writes that He is despised and rejected; a man of sorrows who is acquainted with grief. People hid their faces from Him and did not esteem Him, yet, He borne our grief and carried our sorrow. The writer of Hebrews teaches in chapter 4:15, that our High Priest, Jesus Christ, has been touched with the feelings of our infirmities, and was tempted at all points like we are, yet, He did not sin. Christ relates to everything you are facing; He is the perfect Savior because He Himself took our sorrow, grief and sin upon Himself. He was perfect and was without sin, that is why He was the perfect sacrifice for the sins of the world. Because Jesus Christ was tempted as we are, yet, did not sin, the writer states in Hebrews 4:16, that's why we should come to the throne of grace with boldness, so we can acquire mercy, and find grace to help us in our time of need. Since Jesus was tempted, faced the mental, emotional, spiritual, and physical struggles that we do, and overcame them, He will in turn show mercy and give grace to those who draw near to Him to overcome as well. If you draw near to Him, He will draw near to you; He is a man of sorrows, sorrows for His people, sorrows for this world; He also offers perfect joy and peace. He is our High Priest, our mighty and wonderful Savior, our Lord Jesus Christ. Mercy and grace be with you all.
