Isaiah 53:3

Question that I have wondered about today.

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 esteemed him not. -Isaiah 53:3.

I am curious about the description of Christ as a "Man of Sorrows, and acquainted with grief". I cannot understand if this indicates simply that he was to know many sorrowful events in His Life on earth (essentially describing the same thought two ways), or if it suggests that He would have a tendency toward what we would call depression while also mentioning that he would experience grief. Or if I am missing it all together...

I know that my question may be poorly asked. Could not think of a better way to write it.

Thanks.

 

Agedman, thanks.

You mention joy. I cannot seem to find in Scripture any mention of Christ laughing.

 

Add for clarity: My question in the OP was primarily about Christ's temperament.

 

Thanks JonC. I had not considered that view.
