In this beautiful poetic podcast, the first part of Advice: Let The Helpless Man Save Himself, you will be immersed in the details of Jesus’s story, that led up to his trials before death in, INNOCENT! The Amazing and Devastating Man of Many Sorrows. Written by Tasha Moore.

Who could believe a story like this?

There was man -a scraggy seedling, but tender and green like a beautiful plant, growing from hard and parched ground. At least, that’s how God saw Him.

There was nothing attractive about Him, nothing to cause us to take a second look.

Like an outcast in society, He was looked down on, passed over; a man of MANY sorrows, acquainted with the bitterest of grief.

“Beat Him up in our own alleys, strike His back 39x with a cat of nine tails!”

We turned our backs on Him.

Here He comes -look the other way!

Like the worst of bullies, we mocked Him, “Here, your crown of thorns, ‘All hail the King of the Jews!’”

Then we slapped the mess out of Him – “Kill Him!” Our voices echoed. (John14:1-3,6)

Who knew He was bearing our grief, that our sorrows are what weighed Him down, our disfigurement, ALL things wrong with us?

Ha! We assumed His troubles were a punishment from God, for His own failure.

The truth?

Yes, give me the truth.

Actually, this man was wounded; ripped and torn for our sins.  Yes, even bruised and crushed for your sins.

We’ve done wrong before God! He was not pleased with how we strayed from Him like sheep, going our own way, living “YOLO”.

This man we bullied, came that though we beat Him harshly, His bruises is what heals us.

Yes, God piled our sins, everything you and I did wrong on Him: yes, on Him.

“Guilty!” Is what the judge charged us with.

My head low. “That’s it, I’m doomed; to hell I go.”

“No!” Jesus shouted for ME, for YOU. I will take the guilt. Punish Me.

Alright then, “CRUCIFY HIM!” we yelled, yes, “Crucify Him!” John19:6

Let the unrighteous, fornicator, idolater, adulterer, homosexual, sodimite, thief, covetous, drunkard, slanderous, and robber go –Barabbas! 1Corinthians6:9-11

Set free, we were -a guiltless man, for a guilty WORLD: Jesus Christ.

Amen.

Isaiah 53 TLB, MSG, NKJV

The burdens of this world are heavy, yet, Christ took it all to the cross, so that we might be set FREE. He has never been willing that any should perish, but that ALL should come into the knowledge of Him.
