My part in the community Good Friday service is to read Isaiah 52:13-53:12. I know I have read this in previous community Good Friday services. It is an incredible piece. This year I think I will read it from the
Contemporary English Version. I really like this translation. Not so much for study, but for it's readability. I like the language; the wordage. It is a long piece, but you should read it sometime this week. I hope I can do it Friday without tearing up.
Go here to read Is. 52:13-53:12 (CEV).

As I read through this I wondered how we went from this to the pretty pictures we see of Him. Even the images of Him dying on the cross some how show a ruggedly handsome, serene man hanging there. We really should tear up when we think of how he was probably totally disfigured beyond our comprehension...knowing that He knew how each of us would respond so many times to the sacrifice that was made on our behalf. Crazy stuff.
