Isaiah 53:6
All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned - every one - to his own way; and the Lord has laid on him the iniquity of us all.
We are like sheep, wandering off from the shepherd, turning away from the one who cares for us, provides for us and protects us because we've seen some bit of grass that looks better than the piece we're currently on. Sheep are essentially stupid animals, and so are we. We don't realise that we are turning away from the one who gives us life, setting ourselves on a trajectory towards death. We have all done this. This verse is clear, every one of us has turned away from God. We deserve to be left wandering, but instead, the good shepherd came looking for us, and God laid our iniquity on him
