Hello Everyone,

In Isaiah we see the suffering Christ. What was the true reason for His suffering?

The first reason that Jesus suffered in found in verse 4:

Isaiah says that one of the reasons that Jesus suffered was so that He could bear our infirmities, (grief’s).

The word for infirmities or grief means sickness, disease, anxiety, and affliction. It does not refer to sins, but to sufferings.

The word “bore” means as when one removes a burden from the shoulders of another, and places it on his own. The word means “to take up, to lift, or to raise.”

Listen: Jesus wants to lift your source of grief from you; He wants you to place it on His shoulders so that He can carry it for you. You do not have to bear your grief’s alone.

He also suffered so He could carry our sorrows this is also found in (vs.4).

The difference between this word and the word translated grief’s is that this refers to pains of the mind.

Anxiety or trouble of the soul; this covers also those sorrows that come as a result of sickness and disease.

Many are fighting fears in their minds about many different things, Jesus wants to carry those for you.

Hebrews 4:15 For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who has been tempted in every way, just as we are—yet was without sin.

Oh How He Loves Us!
