Azotado, Herido y Abatido

“Let me tell you, beloved, that the more you look at Jesus crucified, the more you will mourn for sin. Growing thought will bring growing tenderness. I would have you look at the pierced one, that you may hate sin much. Live at Calvary, beloved, for there you will live at your best. Live at Calvary and love at Calvary, until live and love become the same thing. I would say, LOOK TO THE PIERCED ONE UNTIL YOUR OWN HEART IS PIERCED. LOOK AT THE CROSS UNTIL ALL THAT IS ON THE CROSS IS IN YOUR HEART. See Jesus until you see yourself; Mourn for him until you mourn for your sin. He suffered in the place of guilty men. This is the Gospel.”

Charles Spurgeon

“He was despised and rejected by mankind,
   a man of suffering, and familiar with pain.
Like one from whom people hide their faces
   he was despised, and we held him in low esteem.”

  “Surely he took up our pain
   and bore our suffering,
yet we considered him punished by God,
   stricken by him, and afflicted.
 But he was pierced for our transgressions,
   he was crushed for our iniquities;
the punishment that brought us peace was on him,
   and by his wounds we are healed.”
Is 53; 3-5
