He Bore Our GriefsIsaiah 53:4
No. 232Surely he took up our pain and bore our suffering, yet we considered him punished by God.Isaiah 53:4
He took it up — voluntarily, purposefully. The word means to lift and carry. Jesus didn't observe your grief from heaven. He picked it up and carried it. The cross was not just about sin — it was about suffering. He bore both.
Reflect
What grief or suffering are you carrying that you haven't let Jesus bear? Will you let Him take it today?
Prayer
Jesus, I give You this grief: [name it]. You bore it on the cross. I release it to You and refuse to carry what You've already carried. Amen.
