"Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted."

Jesus was everything, but He was reduced to nothing for us. However, the majority of the people He came to save here on earth didn't recognize or accept Him. People simply assumed that He earned what He received. Most people didn't change their ways. Over the years, though, there was something about that tale of self-sacrifice that touched people's hearts and brought God's lost children home. We come to understand that He is a servant for our salvation in addition to being a Savior on the way home.

Most did not repent. But there was something about that story of sacrifice that touched hearts and called God's lost children home over the years. On the way home, we realize that He is not only a Savior but also a servant for our salvation.
