Jesus was ... Despised, so you could be accepted in the Beloved; Rejected, so He could make His home with you; Sorrowful, so you could receive fullness of joy; Forsaken, so you could be called His friend; Afflicted, so you could be healed; Acquainted with grief, so you could be comforted; Chastised, so you could be given perfect peace; Judged, so you would not need to live in condemnation; Numbered with the transgressors, so you could walk in the freedom of His mercy; Put to death, so you could live your life fully for Him; Buried, so you would have the hope of the resurrection and RESURRECTED from the dead, so you could walk in newness of life in HIM ~!!~
