Miss Mormon, Bride-Elect
Of Mr. Bolin, Is Honored
i
The Stern of Good Triday
Don't stop reading this article before
you have read the next five paragraphs.
At that point we want to ask you a
question. But first a quotation from the
Bible:
"He is despised and rejected of men,
a Man of sorrows and acquainted with
grief; and we hid, as it were, our faces
from Him. He was despised and we es-
teemed Him not.
"Surely, He hath borne our griefs and
carried our sorrows; yet we did esteem
Him stricken, smitten of God, and
afflicted.
"But He was wounded for our trans-
gressions; He was bruised for our in-
iquities; the chastisement of our peace was upon Him, and
•with His stripes we are healed.
"All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned,
everyone to his own way; and the Lord hath laid on Him
the iniquity of us all."
So far the quotation. Now the question: Who wrote these
words and when were they written? Surely, they sound as
though they were written by a man who had stood at the
cross of Christ. Yet the fact is that they were written by the
Prophet Isaiah some 75 0 years before Christ was born!
This and scores of other prophecies of the miracle of Good
Friday are proof positive of the divine Lordship of Jesus
Christ and of the genuineness of His atonement. Have you
learned to know Christ as the Son of God, your Lord, and
your Redeemer?
