The End Before the Beginning

    a punishment for his own sins!
 But he was pierced for our rebellion,
      crushed for our sins.
   He was beaten so we could be whole.
      He was whipped so we could be healed.
 All of us, like sheep, have strayed away.
      We have left God’s paths to follow our own.
   Yet the Lord laid on him
      the sins of us all.

Your sin, my sin... He endured the cross to take our punishment and our sin and to give us new life...
