Christ is Coming #9

Isaiah 53 is a chapter we often associate with Good Friday, but it has everything to do with the Incarnation as well:
4 Surely he has borne our griefs
    and carried our sorrows;
yet we esteemed him stricken,
    smitten by God, and afflicted.
5 But he was pierced for our transgressions;
    he was crushed for our iniquities;
upon him was the chastisement that brought us peace,
    and with his wounds we are healed.
6 All we like sheep have gone astray;
    we have turned—every one—to his own way;
and the Lord has laid on him
    the iniquity of us all.
The Apostle Paul would put it this way: Jesus is our Peace. He is the One - and the Only One - through Whom we can find peace with God and peace in our hearts.  We can stop running away from God and run to Him because of what Christ has done for us. He had to come here from heaven to do that. He wanted and still wants us to have peace - to know that all is well, and will be well, when He comes again. Are you at peace with God?
