« In all their suffering He also suffered, and He personally rescued them. In His love and mercy He redeemed them. He lifted them up and carried them through all the years »
7 I will mention the lovingkindnesses of the Lord and the praises of the Lord, according to all that the Lord has bestowed on us, and the great goodness toward the house of Israel, which He has bestowed on them according to His mercies, according to the multitude of His lovingkindnesses.
8 For He said, “Surely they are My people, children who will not lie.” So He became their Savior.
9 In all their affliction He was afflicted, and the Angel of His Presence saved them; in His love and in His pity He redeemed them; and He bore them and carried them all the days of old.
The very first time I read our memory verse for today Isaiah 63:9BSB I couldn’t believe my eyes.
The first sentence really surprised me.
« In all their distress, He was afflicted…»
Whenever those that God loves are afflicted, He is afflicted too.
No wonder in Matthew 25:37-40 , Jesus referred to Himself as the one in prison, the one who was hungry and so on, while the people He was talking to saw other humans in those situations.
Anytime God’s beloved is in pain, He is in pain too. Galatians 6:10GWT says
« Whenever we have the opportunity, we have to do what is good for everyone, especially for the family of believers »
It makes sense that when we, His beloved, are in pain, He is in pain too.
When you see someone you love in pain, you wish that the pain could be transferred to you.
Each time someone you love is suffering, you are suffering too.
This explains 1 Peter 2:24NKJV to us
« who Himself bore our sins in His own body on the tree, that we, having died to sins, might live for righteousness—by whose stripes you were healed »
What He is saying there is, ‘Let your sickness fall on me’.
He was saying ‘I would rather die than see you die’.
This gives me the assurance that aches and pains cannot stay in my body.
You can say confidently to any pain in your body, “Jesus and I cannot suffer for the same thing. He has already suffered my pain, so I cannot be in pain again.”
If death tries to threaten you, tell him, “ Jesus died so that I can live”.
It is because of Jesus’ love for me that I know I can never be poor. 2 Corinthians 8:9ESV says
« For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though he was rich, yet for your sake he became poor, so that you by his poverty might become rich »
Surrender Your life to Jesus Christ and forsake all your sins if you also want to experience this special divine love.
Application – Consider whatever challenge you are facing now and tell it,
“You cannot afflict Jesus and afflict me. Jesus has paid the price for me, so get out of my life in the name of Jesus Christ”.
