Man of Sorrows
Man of Sorrows
"He was despised and rejected by men, a man of sorrows and acquainted with grief." Isaiah 53:3
No matter how low, depressed, or even despondent you feel, you have a Savior who has been ever lower. His name is Man of Sorrows.
Jesus has been despised and rejected. He has suffered unspeakable loss. He was been the victim of severe cruelty and abuse. The name Man of sorrows is a name Jesus earned in the trenches of human experience, and it is a name revealed to you today.
When you experience loss, unspeakable grief and sorrow, or when you are praying for someone who faces unimaginable pain, Man of sorrows is here for you.
Man of sorrows is not simply a temporary title that was given to Jesus when he hung on the cross, it is a name of God that is eternally linked to God's nature. God wants you to know that Man of sorrows is who He is today because of his son Jesus Christ.
Lord Jesus, Man of sorrows, I take hold of your name today. I touch my pain with your name now, and I receive your healing presence.
