Jesus received the title “Man of Sorrows” in chapter 53 of the book of Isaiah, where we read “He was despised and rejected by mankind, a man of sorrows, and familiar with pain. Like one from whom people hide their faces he was despised, and we held him in low esteem.” This particular passage is one of the more famous Messianic prophecies - a section of Scripture that foretells the coming of a future Son of God who would redeem the world. Isaiah offered a glimpse of the life of Jesus where He was rejected in His hometown, betrayed by people who loved Him, and suffered for mankind. Most of His life was defined by hardship, and the culmination of His ministry was sacrificing His life on the cross to bring life to all who call upon Him as Lord and Savior.
