Prophecy about our Lord Jesus

Day 159: Isaiah 50-55

I love Isaiah 53.To learn about our Lord Jesus. Just to comprehend all that is described about him. Wow.

"He grew up before him like a tender shoot,
       and like a root out of dry ground.
       He had no beauty or majesty to attract us to him,
       nothing in his appearance that we should desire him.
 He was despised and rejected by others,
       a man of suffering, and familiar with pain.
       Like one from whom people hide their faces
       he was despised, and we held him in low esteem.
Surely he took up our pain
       and bore our suffering,
       yet we considered him punished by God,
       stricken by him, and afflicted.
But he was pierced for our transgressions,
       he was crushed for our iniquities;
       the punishment that brought us peace was on him,
       and by his wounds we are healed.
We all, like sheep, have gone astray,
       each of us has turned to our own way;
       and the LORD has laid on him
       the iniquity of us all.
He was oppressed and afflicted,
       yet he did not open his mouth;
       he was led like a lamb to the slaughter,
       and as a sheep before its shearers is silent,
       so he did not open his mouth.
By oppression and judgment he was taken away.
       Yet who of his generation protested?
       For he was cut off from the land of the living;
       for the transgression of my people he was punished. 
He was assigned a grave with the wicked,
       and with the rich in his death,
       though he had done no violence,
       nor was any deceit in his mouth.
Yet it was the LORD's will to crush him and cause him to suffer,
       and though the LORD makes his life an offering for sin,
       he will see his offspring and prolong his days,
       and the will of the LORD will prosper in his hand.
After he has suffered,
       he will see the light of life and be satisfied,
      by his knowledge my righteous servant will justify many,
       and he will bear their iniquities.
Therefore I will give him a portion among the great,
       and he will divide the spoils with the strong, 
       because he poured out his life unto death,
       and was numbered with the transgressors.
       For he bore the sin of many,
       and made intercession for the transgressors.

Thank you, Lord Jesus, for being our savior.

I am Kara Poe Alexander. I began this blog to read the Bible anew, with fresh eyes and an open mind. I hope to grow closer to God, to learn how these ancient stories are still relevant today, and to develop a spiritual discipline of Bible study.
