In this episode, Pastor Dom continues our series on the meaning behind taking communion.

Isaiah 53:2

2 …He has no form or comeliness; and when we see Him,
There is no beauty that we should desire Him.

Isaiah 50:6

6 I gave My back to those who struck Me,
And My cheeks to those who plucked out the beard;
I did not hide My face from shame and spitting.

Mark 14:65

Then some of them began to spit on Him. They blindfolded Him, struck Him with their fists, and said to Him, “Prophesy!” And the officers received Him with slaps in His face.

John 19:1-3

1. Then Pilate took Jesus and had Him flogged. 2. The soldiers twisted together a crown of thorns, set it on His head, and dressed Him in a purple robe. 3. And they went up to Him again and again, saying, “Hail, King of the Jews!” and slapping Him in the face.

Matthew 27:30

Then they spit on Him and took the staff and struck Him on the head repeatedly.

Mark 15:19

They kept striking His head with a staff and spitting on Him. And they knelt down and bowed before Him.

John 18:22

When Jesus had said this, one of the officers standing nearby slapped Him in the face and said, “Is this how You answer the high priest?”

Isaiah 53:3-12

3 He is despised and [d]rejected by men, a Man of sorrows and acquainted with grief and we hid, as it were, our faces from Him;
He was despised, and we did not esteem Him. 4 Surely He has borne our griefs and carried our sorrows; yet we esteemed Him stricken, smitten by God, and afflicted. 5 But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities; The chastisement for our peace was upon Him,
And by His stripes we are healed. 6 All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned, every one, to his own way; and the Lord has laid on Him the iniquity of us all. 7 He was oppressed and He was afflicted, yet He opened not His mouth; He was led as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before its shearers is silent,
so He opened not His mouth. 8 He was taken from prison and from judgment,and who will declare His generation? For He was cut off from the land of the living; for the transgressions of My people He was stricken. 9 And they made His grave with the wicked but with the rich at His death, because He had done no violence, nor was any deceit in His mouth. 10 Yet it pleased the Lord to bruise Him; He has put Him to grief. When You make His soul an offering for sin, He shall see His seed, He shall prolong His days,and the pleasure of the Lord shall prosper in His hand. 11. He shall see the labor of His soul, and be satisfied. by His knowledge My righteous Servant shall justify many, for He shall bear their iniquities. 12 …and He was numbered with the transgressors, and He bore the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors.

1 Peter 2:24-25

24 who Himself bore our sins in His own body on the tree, that we, having died to sins, might live for righteousness—by whose stripes you were healed. 25 For you were like sheep going astray, but have now returned to the Shepherd and Overseer of your souls.

2 Corinthians 5:21

21 For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.

1 John 2:2

2 And He Himself is the propitiation for our sins, and not for ours only but also for the whole world.
