I have always heard what it was about, but never read it myself. This morning I did and all I can say is wow! I was so amazed! I then read it again, imagining I was reading it when it was written, not knowing what was to come. It was hard to do, and can't think what they must have felt! WOW! I find it interesting he writes it as it has already happened.
A few verses stood out a little more than the rest. Verse 7 says, "He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth; like a lamb that is led to the slaughter, and like a sheep that before its shearers is silent, so he opened not his mouth." He knew he was here to die, and He still obeyed His Father!
And also verse 9. "And they made his grave with the wicked and with a rich man in his death, although he had done no violence, and there was no deceit in his mouth." We are the ones that did the wrong, not Him, yet He took our place!!!
This is something I need to be reminded... daily! I know for me, I get carried away with life, and don't stop to think about what He did for me! This is a great passage to read. I'd encourage you to!
