Like A Lamb, He Was...
Place the underlined words in the puzzle - its harder than
you think
Isaiah 53
“Who has believed our message and to whom has the
arm of the Lord been revealed? He grew up before him like a tender
shoot, and like a root out of dry
ground. He had no beauty or majesty to attract us to him, nothing in
his appearance that we should desire him. He was
despised and rejected by men,
a man of sorrows, and familiar with suffering. Like one from whom
men hide their faces he was despised, and we esteemed him not.
Surely he took up our infirmities and carried our sorrows, yet we
considered him stricken by God, smitten 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. He was oppressed and
afflicted, yet he did not open his mouth; he was led like a lamb
to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is
silent, so he did not open his mouth. By
oppression and judgment he was taken away. And who can speak of his
descendants? For he was cut off from the land of the living; for the
transgression of my people he was stricken. He was assigned a grave
with the wicked, and with the rich in his death,
though he had done no violence, nor was any deceit in his mouth. Yet
it was the Lord’s will to crush him and cause him to suffer, and
though the Lord makes his life a guilt offering, he
will see his offspring and prolong his days, and the will of the
Lord will prosper in his hand. After the suffering of his soul, he
will see the light of life and be satisfied by his knowledge my
righteous servant will justify many, and he will bear their
iniquities. Therefore I will give him a portion among the great, and
he will divide the spoils with the strong, because he poured out his
life unto death, and was numbered with the transgressors. For he
bore the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors. |
