"Through his suffering, my servant shall justify many, and their guilt he shall bear."
(Isaiah 53: 11).
When you hear "Christ the Redeemer", what comes to your mind? The type and shadow of our Redemption was shown in various places in the Old Testament. Example: Exodus and here in the Book of Numbers:
"The Lord said to Moses: Make a seraph and mount it on a pole, and everyone who has been bitten will look at it and recover." (Numbers 21: 8 - 9).
Our sins would cause severe suffering to the Suffering Servant of God. Our sins will also cause us to be severely bitten by the punishing serpents. But God will not abandon us. When we cry out to God, He will come to our aid.
"And when I am lifted up from the earth, I will draw everyone to myself.” (John 12: 32).
God sent His Son born of woman to redeem us from sin and the effects of sin.
"For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but one who has similarly been tested in every way, yet without sin." (Hebrews 4: 15).
Our redemption and salvation is great gift of mercy from God. What is your response?
Look at the image of Christ on the Cross and:
Ask for Mercy.
Be Merciful.
Completely trust Jesus for Mercy.
Thank You Jesus. By Your stripes I am healed. (Isaiah 53: 5).
