My children are learning cause and effect. They don’t realize their actions cause problems. Similarly, we often downplay our sins, distancing ourselves from their severity. It is by recognizing our sins that we see the depth of God’s grace.
Isaiah 53 describes the affliction Jesus would suffer, but it also explains why he suffered those things.
Today as we begin our celebration of Holy Week, we meditate on Isaiah 53 and its prophetic message about our Savior from sin. We'll come back to this text in our Good Friday Devotion. (Look for new devotions this week on Maundy Thursday and Good Friday.)
I wasn't raised in the church. When I first attended church, I remarked at how often Jesus’ suffering and death were mentioned.
I was recently watching a video interview of Elon Musk and Elon Musk was explaining how he doesn't even have a house that he lives in.
I remember driving home after my children were born and thinking that something huge had just happened, but no one seemed to notice.
700 years before the birth of Christ God gave an amazing prophecy through Isaiah. In Isaiah 7:14 we hear this:
And maybe you've thought about How can I study the Bible? What are some different ways I can do that?
On day 3 of creation God made the land, but what else did he make?
What did God do on the second day of creation? Today we read Genesis 1:6-8 & Isaiah 55:10-11.
What does it mean to meditate on God's Word? What passages have you meditated on lately?
"Grass withers, flowers fade, but the Word of our God endures forever." Come spend a few moments with us and reflect on the Word that lasts forever.
