We all, like sheep, have gone astray, each of us has turned to our own way; and the Lord has laid on him the iniquity of us all.

Isaiah 53

We all, like sheep, have gone astray,
each of us has turned to our own way;
and the Lord has laid on him
the iniquity of us all. v6

We HAVE all gone astray and God HAS laid on Jesus the iniquity of us all. 

Verse 4-5 are also true and prophecies of the coming Jesus.

Surely he took up our pain
and bore our suffering,
yet we considered him punished by God,
stricken by him, and afflicted.
But he was pierced for our transgressions,
he was crushed for our iniquities;
the punishment that brought us peace was on him,
and by his wounds we are healed.

The greatest gift of all...

My Prayer: Lord, among all the blessings with which you have blessed me, your death on the cross is the greatest gift as it nailed my sin to the cross.  I am no longer slave to sin and I am forgiven.  Lord Jesus, You are an awesome God!  I know You want me to come to You and sometimes I don't out of my own laziness.  I know You love me but please forgive me and help grow my desire for You and help me so that Your desires are my desires.
