What do we see when we look at Jesus. The gospels tell us of a man filled with compassion, love, integrity someone uncompromising in his beliefs. Isaiah the prophet tells of us a man who has nothing desirable about him, someone who causes people to turn away, someone numbered among the transgressors. How can both these statements be true. This Good Friday we explore who we see when we look at Jesus.
