P. 29
divine soul of the world's Redeemer. He who
knew no sin became sin for us that we might
be made the righteousness of God in Him. In
assuming the nature of man, He placed
Himself where He was wounded for our
transgressions, bruised for our iniquities,
that by His stripes we might be healed”{TMK
66}.
For our sakes He became poor so
through His poverty we might be made
rich.
He laid aside His glory and majesty.
He walked the earth unrecognized with
but few exceptions by His creatures.
His lot was poverty and humiliation.
He relieved the sick.
He lifted up the depressed.
The greatest of the nation passed Him
by with disdain.
He yielded up His life as a sacrifice that
we should not eternally die.
He was pierced for our sins.
He was crushed for our iniquities.
He humbled Himself even unto death.
