king of shadows

he has borne our griefs and carried our sorrows;
... he was bruised for our iniquities;
- isaiah 53

in all their affliction he was afflicted,
- isaiah 63:9

how ironic that the focus is so often on the iniquities
that it is easy to forget he also carries the griefs.

the God who is sorrowed by my sin
also shares in my human sorrows.
the God of my redemption from sin
is also the God of my griefs.
