He was oppressed and afflicted,
yet He did not open His mouth:
yet He did not open His mouth:
He was led like a lamb to the slaughter,
and as a sheep before its shearers is silent,
so He did not open His mouth.
By oppression and judgment He was taken away.
Yet who of His generation protested?
For He was cut off from the land of the living;
for the transgression of my people He was punished.
and as a sheep before its shearers is silent,
so He did not open His mouth.
By oppression and judgment He was taken away.
Yet who of His generation protested?
For He was cut off from the land of the living;
for the transgression of my people He was punished.
He was assigned a grave with the wicked,
and with the rich in His death,
though He had done no violence,
nor was any deceit in His mouth.
and with the rich in His death,
though He had done no violence,
nor was any deceit in His mouth.

Jesus is innocent and pure, no sin was found in Him. He is fully God and fully man, only He could pay the price for our sin. Jesus was tempted, He knows fully well how hard life here on earth is. I believe Satan tempted Jesus way more than he has ever tempted us. In Gethsemane the temptation from Satan was so intense His sweat was like drops of blood.
Luke 22:43-44 NIV
An angel from heaven appeared to him and strengthened him. And being in anguish, he prayed more earnestly, and his sweat was like drops of blood falling to the ground.
When temptation comes think about how Satan tempted Jesus, our trial will never ever match what Jesus went through and if He can do it then with Him guiding and yoked along side of us, so can we do whatever is placed before us.
Matthew 11:29-30 NIV
"Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.”
