Groovy Verses

Alright, so you guys got the idea of it, so I won't waste too much time on introductions. As Smooth Jazz stated, we have been busy with the mixtape, but we finished it today! *high five* It's expected drop date is July 18th, but that is very tentative and can change. We'll keep you posted. Moving on to my favorite verses.

Isaiah 53: 4-6 (NIV)

4. Surely he took up our pain and bore our suffering

yet we consider him punished by God

stricken by him and afflicted. 

5. But he was pierced for our transgressions, 

he was crushed for our iniquities; 

the punishment that brought us peace was on him 

and by his wounds we are healed 

6. We all, like sheep, have gone astray, 

each of us has turned to our own way; and the LORD has laid on him 

the inequity of us all.

Wow. That is some powerful stuff. I've read that passage many times, but it never manages to take my breath away. There is so much I like about, but I'm going to specifically hit on two points. First of all, it was one of the many prophecies in Isaiah predicting Jesus' cruxifixction. It specifically hits on the points of him dying for us. It reminds that in our on darkness and suffering, we were/are able to find hope and peace. Verse five really hits the nail on the head with that one. While I like this whole passage, verso five is probably my favorite. Anyway, that's really all I've got today. I'd love to go more into why I like it, but I can't.
