He hath subjected Him ...

Amazing that God

Subjected to suffering

The Son of His love!

 

To bruise Him ...

Yet it was the will

Of Jehovah that this Man

Should endure bruising.

Pentland Hills behind in the first photo.

What did God see?

For God saw a Man

With neither of Satan's traits,

Violence and guile.

Faithful and true

As God had ordained

He who was faithful and true

Had a rich man's tomb.

 Longniddrie to Edinburgh

Pit

Scoundrels, criminals

Tipped in one pit: they would have

Put my Saviour there.

 Changing sky

Stricken

Not only stricken

By malice and cruelty

But for "my people".

 Towards Edinburgh from Longniddry

He who had seen Jah

He who had seen Jah

In the land of the living:

Severed from the thrum.

One of my attempts at bonsai

 The verse has Isaiah 38: 11, 12 in mind as well as Isaiah 53.

Messias cut off

Messias cut off:

But an empty tomb declares

His generation.

 Walk from Bo'ness to Queensferry. passing Blackness Castle

And from judgment

Thoughts of judgment swelled

In minds of those who took Him

Away from justice.
