Weighed Down by Sorrow

Are you weighed down from carrying the weight of sorrow?

Sorrow can make us angry and bitter, and full of self-pity. We can end up moving through the world without hope.

The prophet Isaiah, in the Bible, beautifully proclaimed what Jesus would do centuries before it happened: He took up our sickness, and He carried our sorrows.

When Jesus went to the cross, He didn’t just see our sorrow or have compassion on our sorrow, or even wasn’t just with us in our sorrow. He carried our sorrow. He actually became a man of sorrows so that He could lift sorrow from us.

Do you know this about Him? Are you ready to give Him your sorrow?

You can, today!

Always remember, there is hope with God.

Isaiah 53:4

“Yet it was our weaknesses he carried; it was our sorrows that weighed him down. And we thought his troubles were a punishment from God, a punishment for his own sins!”
