....."yet it was our infirmities he bore, our suffering that he endured, While we thought of him as stricken, as one smitten by God. But he was pierced for our offenses, crushed for our sins.Upon him was the chastisement that makes us whole.We had all gone astray like sheep, each following his own way.But the Lord laid upon him the guilt of us all..." Is. 53:4-6

Everything rests on this passage for a Christian. Thanks for sharing. If I (David) were to share my own, it would have to be the following from Hebrews, which corresponds all too perfectly with Isaiah:
"Therefore, since we have a great high priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus, the Son of God, let us hold fast to our confession. For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but one who has similarly been tested in every way, yet without sin. So let us confidently approach the throne of grace to receive mercy and to find grace for timely help.
Every high priest is taken from among men and made their representative before God, to offer gifts and sacrifices for sins. He is able to deal patiently with the ignorant and erring, for he himself is beset by weakness and so, for this reason, must make sin offerings for himself as well as for the people. No one takes this honor upon himself but only when called by God, just as Aaron was. In the same way, it was not Christ who glorified himself in becoming high priest, but rather the one who said to him: 'You are my son: this day I have begotten you'[...]"
"In the days when he was in the flesh, he offered prayers and supplications with loud cries and tears to the one who was able to save him from death, and he was heard because of his reverence. Son though he was, he learned obedience from what he suffered; and when he was made perfect, he became the source of eternal salvation for all who obey him..."
(Hebrews 4:14-16; 5:1-9)
love it...thanks David!
