The psychic, emotional and psychological pain of Jesus
Dr. Roberto Miranda(Audio: Spanish)
SUMMARY:
In Isaiah 53, the prophet writes about the crucifixion of Jesus, hundreds of years before it happened. He describes Jesus as a man of sorrows, despised and rejected by men, and experienced in grief. This was because Jesus lived his life as a solitary being, not understood by those around him, despite knowing that he was God. His whole life was a gradual crucifixion, culminating in the moment of his death on the cross, where he bore the weight of all of humanity's sin. We, as individuals, have also hidden our faces from Jesus, not esteeming him as we should. Therefore, it is important to worship and give the Lord the glory and honor that he deserves. By doing so, we correct the mistake of not esteeming him and recognize the sacrifice he made for us.
The speaker emphasizes the importance of worship and giving glory and honor to God. He reminds the audience of the great sacrifice that Christ made for their salvation and encourages them to live a life of dedication and service to Him. He also speaks of the blessings that Christ's sacrifice has brought, including redemption on earth and hope for eternal life. The speaker encourages the audience to remember these things and to thank the Lord for all their blessings before leaving.Let me meditate with you a little bit about a theme from Scripture, which focuses on the crucifixion of Jesus, his sacrifice on the cross. Quickly go with me to the 53rd chapter of Isaiah and there we see this passage that is so well known about the crucifixion and the suffering of Jesus. Let's read, I think that simply reading this passage edifies us so much already and introduces us to the very center of the meaning of the passion of Jesus. It says in verse 3:
"...Despised and rejected among men, a man of sorrows, experienced in grief and as we hid our faces from him, he was despised and we do not esteem him..."
