I tell you, do not worry.
Don't worry about your life and
what you will eat or drink.
And don't worry about your body and
what you will wear.
Isn't there more to life than eating?
Aren't there more important things for
the body than clothes?
"Look at the birds of the air.
They don't plant or gather crops.
They don't put away crops in storerooms.
But your Father who is in heaven feeds them.
Aren't you worth much more than they are?
(Matthew 6:25-26)
Men looked down on him. They didn't accept him. He knew all about sorrow and suffering. He was like someone people turn their faces away from. We looked down on him. We didn't have any respect for him. He suffered the things we should have suffered. He took on himself the pain that should have been ours. But we thought God was punishing him. We thought God was wounding him and making him suffer. All of us are like sheep. We have wandered away from God. All of us have turned to our own way. And the Lord has placed on his servant the sins of all of us. He was beaten down and made to suffer. But he didn't open his mouth. He was led away like a sheep to be killed. Lambs are silent while their wool is being cut off. In the same way, he didn't open his mouth. He was arrested and sentenced to death. Then he was taken away. He was cut off from this life. He was punished for the sins of my people. Who among those who were living at that time could have understood those things? (Isaiah 53:3,4,6,7,8)
