Aurora Colorado

Isaiah 53-56

One of the most sincere invitations to intimate ecstasy that has ever been penned or conceived in the heart of God.  

Why did Aurora Colorado happen?  Why did James Holmes murder? 

All these questions leads to one ultimate question; why did the perfect, sinless, Son of the Most High God, Lover of all humans, have to be brutally sacrificed?

He was despised and forsaken

         of men…

He was despised, and we did

         not esteem Him

Surely our grief’s He Himself

          bore

And our sorrows He carried…

But He was pierced through

         for our transgressions

He was crushed for

our iniquities…

And by His scourging we are

         healed.

All of us like sheep have gone

         astray,

Each of us has turned to his

         own way;

But the Lord has caused the

         iniquity of us all

To fall on Him.

                                             53:3-6
