Isaiah 53:6

We are memorizing Isaiah 53 as a church. This week we are on verse 6:

"All we like sheep have gone astray;we have turned—every one—to his own way;and the Lord has laid on himthe iniquity of us all."

This reminded me of the post I did a few years ago called, "Sins Laid on Jesus."

The sin count really starts to bring into perspective the amount of sins we have committed. When open air preaching I will sometimes say something like "If you sin just 3 times a day for 7 years in thought, word, or deed, you have sinned over 7,000 times, and this is a light figure."

And when examining my heart according to God's measuring standard of goodness--the Law--which magnifies the "exceeding sinfulness" of my sin, revealing what my heart is really like, it makes me truly appreciate the sacrifce of my Savior.

Thank you Jesus!
