Isaiah 53:2-6 MSG ...He was looked down on and passed over, a man who suffered, who knew pain firsthand. One look at him and people turned away. We looked down on him, thought he was scum But the fact is, it was our pains he carried - our disfigurements, all the things wrong with us We thought he brought it on himself, that God was punishing him for his own failures But it was our sins that did that to him, that ripped and tore and crushed him - our sins! He took the punishment, and that made us whole. Through his bruises we get healed #easter #Jesus #rockstar #despisedandrejected #redeemer #saviour

Matthew 27:20-26 NIV But the chief priests and the elders persuaded the crowd to ask for Barabbas and to have Jesus executed.   Which of the two do you want me to release to you? asked the governor. Barabbas What shall I do, then, with Jesus who is called the Messiah?... They all answered, Crucify him! ...When Pilate saw that he was getting nowhere, but that instead an uproar was starting ...he released Barabbas to them. But he had Jesus flogged, and handed him over to be crucified. From rockstar to outcast. Hero to zero The political & religious leaders somehow convinced the people that Jesus wasn't who he said he was Don't let someone else tell you who Jesus is know him for yourself #easter #Jesus #rockstar #despisedandrejected #redeemer #saviour

Matthew 21:8-11 NIV A very large crowd spread their cloaks on the road...The crowds that went ahead of him and those that followed shouted; Hosanna to the Son of David! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord! Hosanna in the highest heaven! When Jesus entered Jerusalem, the whole city was stirred and asked, Who is this? The crowds answered, This is Jesus, the prophet from Nazareth. .. This is rock star Jesus. Huge crowds of people laying down their cloaks, cutting branches off trees ..crowds in front...crowds behind...the whole city stirred up...Jesus...the prophet...I heard he did...I was there when he...he's going to sort the Romans once and for all...he's related to King David...he's the One... #easter #Jesus #rockstar
