My Daily Meditations
1 Who will believe our report? and to whom is the arm of the Lord revealed?
2 But he shall grow up before him as a branch, and as a root out of a dry ground; he hath neither form nor beauty: when we shall see him, there shall be no form that we should desire him.
3 He is despised and rejected of men: he is a man full of sorrows, and hath experience of infirmities: we hid as it were our faces from him: he was despised, and we esteemed him not.
4 Surely, he hath born our infirmities, and carried our sorrows, yet we did judge him as plagued and smitten of God, and humbled.
5 But he was wounded for our transgressions: he was broken for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him, and with his stripes are we healed.
6 All we like sheep have gone astray: we have turned every one to his own way, and the Lord hath laid upon him the iniquity of us all.
7 He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet did he not open his mouth: he is brought as a sheep to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearer is dumb, so he opened not his mouth.
8 He was taken out from prison, and from judgment: and who shall declare his age? for he was cut out of the land of the living: for the transgression of my people was he plagued.
9 [m]And he made his grave with the wicked, and with the rich in his death, though he had done no wickedness, neither was any deceit in his mouth.
10 Yet the Lord would break him and make him subject to infirmities: when he shall make his soul an offering for sin, he shall see his seed and shall prolong his days, and the will of the Lord shall prosper in his hand.
11 He shall see of the travail of his soul, and shall be satisfied; by his knowledge shall my righteous servant justify many: for he shall bear their iniquities.
12 Therefore will I give him a portion with the great, and he shall divide the spoil with the strong, because he hath poured out his soul unto death; and he was counted with the transgressors, and he bare the sin of many, and prayed for the trespassers.
The Book of Isaiah Chapter 53:1-12
Indeed my friends, who HAS heard the report of the prophet Isaiah? Many people who are asked do they believe in the sacrifice of Jesus have never understood it except that He was crucified. Likewise those that are aware that He died for our iniquities choose to think, that being a good person will get you into heaven. My friends, I am going to be blunt here in saying it doesn’t work that way. That is NOT God’s plan for salvation, for if it were there would have not be a need for Christ to die on the cross. NOTHING, we can do, or say in this world will get us to where God wants us to be, that is redeemed unto Himself. As I have written time and again, our righteousness is naught by filthy rags to Him, and it is ONLY the washing away of our sins by the blood of the risen Savior that we can come into acceptance of being heirs to the Kingdom. In verse 12 we read that He prayed for the trespassers. That is US my friends as we now have an advocate before the Father, when one accepts Christ as Savior. My friends, take the word of the prophet Isaiah, take the report and believe on it, for it is the Word of God Himself. Believe on the sacrifice of Jesus, and you will be saved.
Read One Psalm a Day
Psalm One Hundred Twenty Four
1 If the Lord had not been on our side, may Israel now say
2 If the Lord had not been on our side, when men rose up against us,
3 They had then swallowed us up quick, when their wrath was kindled against us.
4 Then the waters had drowned us, and the stream had gone over our soul:
5 Then had the swelling waters gone over our soul.
6 Praised be the Lord, which hath not given us as a prey unto their teeth.
7 Our soul is escaped, even as a bird out of the snare of the fowlers: the snare is broken, and we are delivered.
8 Our help is in the Name of the Lord, which hath made heaven and earth
