BEHOLD
THE LAMB OF GOD (Part III)
It is
mission critical that we stretch ourselves toward a more expansive
comprehension of the PERSON and WORK of JESUS CHRIST. For the balance of this
Lenten season, our primary focus will be an in-depth examination of the
mission, ministry and message of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
To be totally transparent, I am thoroughly
exhausted today after ministering multiple times on yesterday. The presence of the Lord was highly anointed,
powerful, transformative and, indeed, somewhat physically overwhelming. If you are actively engaged in ministry, you
know exactly what I mean.
As a result, today I am posting one
of my favorite scriptural passages about Jesus Christ for your prayerful
consideration.
Isaiah 53:1-6
1Who hath believed our report? and to whom is the arm of the Lord revealed?
2 For he shall grow up before him as a tender plant, and as a
root out of a dry ground: he hath no form nor comeliness; and when we shall see
him, there is no beauty that we should desire him.
3 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.
4 Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows:
yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted.
5 But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised
for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his
stripes we are healed.
6 All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every
one to his own way; and the Lord hath laid on him the
iniquity of us all.
