The wrong thought
We do the wrong thought (Isa. 53:4).
Our wrong thought is that
We think Jesus was stricken by God, smitten by Him and afflicted (v. 4)
Even though He was pierced and crushed for our transgression and our iniquities (v. 5).
Although Jesus clearly took up our infirmities and carried our sorrows (v. 4)
And suffered because of our transgressions and our iniquities (v. 5)
We think that Jesus was crucified on the cross
Because He was punished by God
Due to His sin of blaspheming God (Self-proclaiming that He is the Son of God)
And His sin of blaspheming the temple.
Obviously, His suffering is due to our transgressions and iniquities.
The root of our wrong thought is pride.
Pride twists our thoughts.
Pride makes us think ourselves wise.
So when Eve saw the fruit of the tree,
It was not only good for food and pleasing to the eyes
But also desirable for gaining wisdom (Gen. 3:6).
This is said by Apostle John as “the boastful pride of life” (1 Jn. 2:16).
This is not from the Father but from the world (v. 16).
The boastful pride of life makes us to do wrong thought and sin against God.
