Man of Sorrows
Man of Sorrows
by Danny C. Wash
a Man of sorrows and acquainted with grief.
...Surely He has borne our griefs and carried
our sorrows...” Isaiah 53: 3-4
Man of Sorrows bearing our grief
day after day without any relief.
He moved through life in suffering
and sorrow to become the covering
for all of the sin rooted inside our soul,
keeping us all from ever being whole.
The evil in us by being “in Adam” as our portion
of the human race resulted in a great distortion
of our entire human body and soul, committing sin
against God and our fellow man, until we are cleansed
from it through the Man of Sorrows suffering the cross,
so that God could righteously save us from great loss.
He laid down His life and breathed His last breath
as us and for us in the final suffering of His death
for the worst and most evil humans, as well as the best.
As the Bible says, “all we like sheep have gone astray.”
Not only the worst evildoers but the best have lost their way.
The sin principle from Adam, made our “old man” have to die
in Christ at the time He died by being placed there by
God at the moment of Jesus’ death. When Jesus was
raised from the dead, we were raised in Christ because
He became the “Last Adam” giving birth to us as a new race
of people in our spirits. We were reborn in Him in place
of the former life of being prisoners of sin and strife.
This happened when Jesus died and received resurrection life,
but it can only include us if we believe in faith that it is true
and then it becomes a reality in the here and now for you.
(Note: If you want to be sure this is true, read Romans 6: 3-11,
Romans 5: 14-21, and Galatians 2:20)
