The Roughest Road

Friday. Isa. 53:1-13.

It was a long road that Jesus came down to us in our sin, and a rough road, too. There were the crossed logs right across the road, and they were all overgrown with the sharp thorns and the poison ivy. But this couldn’t hold Jesus back, for he was thinking of us. And he pushed his way through, bearing the scars to this very hour. But he reached the world, and he has reached our hearts. It was hard for him, but how good for us!
