The Man Of Sorrows

Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Dec 16, 2018

Isaiah lived some seven hundred years prior to Jesus, and yet he revealed much about the significance of His life and death. Jesus fulfilled every prophecy regarding His first advent. I am thankful He came to provide the means of our salvation.

The Man of Sorrows Isaiah 53: 4-6 As I consider the Bible as a whole, there are specific chapters that seem to stand out above the rest. I do not imply these are any more inspired, or needful than the rest, but they are of such rich substance that I feel inadequate to enter their eternal standing. ...read more

What’s Your Poison?

Contributed by Mark Opperman on May 6, 2015
