Glory Revealed (2)

The second song on the Glory Revealed cd is "By His Wounds" from Isaiah 53:5 (NIV). "He was pierced for our transgressions, He was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was upon Him, and by His wounds we are healed." This is the verse right before a verse that all little Baptist kids learn in Sunday School: "All we, like sheep, have gone astray . . ." This Scripture is difficult for us prideful human beings to accept sometimes. A perfect God, our sinless Lord, was tortured and killed to pay for all our sins. Doesn't seem fair, but He did it anyway so that we could be restored to Him in spite of our sins and in spite of the fact that we are like brainless sheep who have to be led by someone else because they can't take care of themselves. Quite humbling.
