...and the priest shall make an atonement for
him before the Lord: and it shall be forgiven him for
any thing of all that he hath done in trespassing therein...
Away from prison and places of justice,
the king of the Jews was murdered.
We did not desire him.
He bore our griefs upon his shoulders.
He carried our sorrows.
He accepted the chastisement of our peace.
He healed us with his wounds.
He interceded for sinners.
He poured out his soul to us to death.
But we saw him as stricken,
smitten of God,
afflicted with strange delusion.
We turned away from sight of his marred face
and went our way.
Bruised with purity,
wounded with truth,
oppressed in silence,
disfigured with love,
he was offered for atonement.
God was pleased.
He exalted his Servant, His Son,
so that at his name,
all shall wonder
and worship
and adore.
