The Mind Bender • Isaiah 53: an uncannily accurate prophecy of Jesus' death and resurrection • It’s written in the PAST tense.
Engaging our Hearts 5 But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace wasupon 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.
Engaging our Hearts There is no “Neutral” Jesus tells us: “He who is not with me is against me, and he who does not gather with me scatters.” Matthew 12:30
Engaging our Hearts 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.
