Jesus Christ: Our Savior.

The Lord Jesus Christ decided to die so that we could be free from sin and live forever with Him.
Who has believed our message? And to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed? 2 He will come up before Him like a tender plant, and like a root out of dry ground; He has no form or beauty; we will see Him, but there is no beauty that we should desire Him. 3 He was despised and rejected by men, a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief; and we hid as it were Our faces from Him, He was despised, and we did not esteem Him.
4 Surely He has borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows; yet we esteemed Him stricken, smitten by God, and afflicted. 5 But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities; the chastisement that brought us peace was upon Him, and by His stripes we are healed. 6 We all, like sheep, have gone astray, each of us has turned to his own way; But the LORD has laid on him the iniquity of us all.
7 He was oppressed and afflicted, yet he did not open his mouth; he was led like a lamb to the slaughter, and like a sheep before its shearers he was silent, so he did not open his mouth. 8 He was taken from prison and from judgment; and who can declare his generation? For he was cut off from the land of the living, and for the transgression of my people he was struck down. 9 He made his grave with the wicked, but with the rich in his death; though he had done no wickedness, nor was there any deceit in his mouth.
10 Yet it pleased the LORD to crush him, to put him to grief. When he has made his life an offering for sin, he will see his offspring, he will prolong his days, and the good pleasure of the LORD will prosper in his hand. 11 He will see the travail of his soul and be satisfied; by his knowledge my righteous servant will justify many, and he will bear their iniquities. 12 Therefore I will divide him a portion with the great, and he will divide the spoil with the strong, because he poured out his soul unto death, and was numbered with the transgressors, and bore the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors.
Isaiah 53.
In the previous reading, we see Isaiah who was prophesying about the coming of the Savior of the world, who would come to atone for the sins of every person. But this long-awaited Messiah did not match the expectations that the people had.
The Jewish people still imagined that they would be governed by a strong person with a lot of earthly power, but Jesus Christ had little resemblance to that, Jesus was a servant and he spent most of his time with the humble and with those marginalized. The people of Israel were waiting for someone to put an end to the oppression of his people. Jesus Christ, the Savior, the liberator, died like a criminal and also warned all those who followed him that they would not be accepted by the world. Jesus Christ was not really the person that his people expected him to be, but in the end he was much more than what people understood.
That day will come when each one of us will appear before God to receive our reward, whether it is what we are waiting for or not. But the truth is that Jesus Christ paid for our sins so that all who believe in him can be saved and have eternal life.
For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.
