So then, since we have a great High Priest who has entered heaven, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold firmly to what we believe.
Hebrews 4:14
He was despised and rejected— a man of sorrows, acquainted with deepest grief. We turned our backs on him and looked the other way. He was despised, and we did not care.
Isaiah 53:3
He will be handed over to the Romans, and he will be mocked, treated shamefully, and spit upon. They will flog him with a whip and kill him, but on the third day he will rise again.”
Luke 18:32-33
Father God, what love you have for the world. The sacrifice Jesus made so that we may be redeemed and live, is a gift beyond imagination. How can we put into words our humble thanks? Lord, we live for you! Amen.
