Isaiah 53:3 He was a man of sorrows, acquainted with deepest grief.
The name “A Man of Sorrows” continues this blog’s series on the book of Isaiah. I’m happy that Isaiah 53 fell on this day. I’m comforted knowing that in the grief so many of us experience more acutely in this holiday season, Jesus comes to us as a man personally acquainted with sorrow. We can come to him just as we are—laying aside our jolly holiday masks—and know that he gets it and walks with us through these bittersweet days.
