Surely our griefs He Himself bore, And our sorrows He carried...
He was pierced through for our transgressions, He was crushed for our iniquities...
These two lines from Isaiah 53 are very familiar. They are also very different in content. Later in the chapter it is revealed that the LORD was pleased to crush Him. It was in God's plan for Christ to both bear our griefs and be pierced for our transgressions.
The beauty in these lines is that not only did Christ die for our sins. Although surely, that in and of itself is beautiful. But
He came to bear for us grief and sorrow.
