Surely he has borne our griefs
and carried our sorrows;
yet we esteemed him stricken,
smitten by God, and afflicted.
But he was wounded for our transgressions,
he was bruised for our iniquities;
upon him was the chastisement that made us whole,
and with his stripes we are healed.
Isaiah 53:4–5 (RSV)
The Servant Song from Isaiah 53-53 is the Lord's witness of His willingness to win our salvation. These few words cited here is the truth we cannot ignore. Jesus has borne all our sorrows, our transgressions. The righteous judgment of God which should fall on us, Jesus will bear on the cross.
Repentance is our admission that our sins are laid on Jesus. Our confession is speaking the truth of rebellion against the Father. We acknowledge God would be justified to let His wrath and judgment fall on us.
The heart of the Father longs to redeem and save. He has no joy in the death of anyone. As a wayward child grieves a parent's heart, an unrepentant sinner is a great sorrow to the Father. He gives His only Son to take upon Himself the consequences of our sin, so not one of us would be lost to Him.
Here is where the sinner dies to themselves, the old self is left behind, and the new creation is born in Christ. The eternal purpose of the Father is fulfilled in the dying and rising of our Lord Jesus. It is in this redemption where you and I now live.
