How could an Old Testament person understand the idea of Christ dying for our sins---actually bearing the punishment that we deserved? The sacrifices suggested this idea, but it is one thing to kill a lamb, and something quite different to think of God’s chosen servant as that Lamb. But God was pulling aside the curtain of time to let the people of Isaiah’s day look ahead to the suffering of the future Messiah and the resulting forgiveness made available to all people.--- Life Application Study Bible notesDear Lord,I stand in awe of You and Your divinely preordained plan.I praise and thank You that I have been redeemed and forgiven of my sin through faith in Christ’s sacrificial death and glorious resurrection.Thank you for carrying our griefs and bearing our sorrows and bringing us the healing by grace.Help me never to be numb to the gospel and direct me to demonstrate Jesus is alive in everything I do.In Jesus’ name,Amen
