Isaiah 53:4-10

"Surely he took up our infirmities and carried our sorrows, yet we considered him stricken by God, smiten by him, and afflicted. But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was upon him, and by his wounds we are healed. 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." (v. 4-6)

Sin is usually the act of our own selfish desires. It may only be a short gain for us, but never a benefit to anyone else. We often times believe that it really doesn't harm anyone else. However, the truth is that it hurts many. Worst of all, it hurts our Lord Jesus Christ. Christ died for our selfish desires... it is our sins that put Him to death, and especially separated Him from the Father. He suffered for every one of our sins regardless of how big or small, and He took our place for the ultimate punishment that belongs to us. So let us focus on Him... draw strength from Him... and rethink when we are tempted to sin, and remember the sufferings the Lord had experience for our sake.

See, from His head, His hands, His feet,
Sorrow and love flow mingled down;
Did e'er such love and sorrow meet,
Or thorns compose so rich a crown? —Watts

Jesus took our sin so that we might have His salvation.
