For Day 6 of our spiritual Advent-ure, we see that this Child who was born grew up to be a man, and He endured suffering and death for us so that we could have new life in Him. In Isaiah 53, we see a picture of this man and what He would endure:
3He is 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.4Surely He has borne our griefs And carried our sorrows; Yet we esteemed Him stricken, Smitten by God, and afflicted.5But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities; The chastisement for our peace was upon Him, And by His stripes we are healed.
