"YET..." (Isaiah 53:4) He was despised --- yet a man of sorrow --- yet familiar with suffering--- yet we averted our gaze--- yet "YET" is the cusp of all that did occur upon that hill and on that Way. It all was so, in painful fact and YET--- the reason why, the purpose of it all was found in one exchange: [esvbible reference="John 17:24" header="on" format="tooltip" ]"I want those you have give me[/esvbible] [esvbible reference="John 17:24" header="on" format="tooltip" ]to be with me where I am"[/esvbible], -upon a cross; [esvbible reference="John 17:26" header="on" format="tooltip" ]"that I may be in them"[/esvbible], -upon a cross. "Greater love than this...." "He was despised"--- YET, 'ours' and 'he' 'we'; and 'him' 'he' 'for our' 'us' 'on him' 'we' 'by his; 'He' - 'for our rebellions' and 'our guilt': 'all we like sheep had gone astray YET he was led to the Cross, where 'YET',-this glorious 'YET', this key,- is nailed for us, forever.
(Good Friday)
