As the prophet Isaiah saw, in the time before crucifixion
He saw a prophecy about the crucifixion of Christ.
In his words, "he bore our grief and carried our sorrows"
This is symbolic of the cross that Jesus literally and figuratively carried.
Isiah said he was wounded for our transgressions and bruised for our iniquities.
In New Testament Jesus was whipped for our transgressions
And a crown of thorns was laid upon his head for our iniquities.
Isiah said, "we all, like sheep, have gone astray.
We have turned everyone his own way,
And the Lord has laid on him the iniquities of us all."
The Romans laid the cross on Jesus which was symbolic of our iniquities.
Our iniquities are not actually heavy, but they are heavy to the Lord,
Just like the cross on Jesus' shoulders was heavy.
Just as a crucified man would smell bad to us,
So would sin smell bad to a Holy God.
Amen
