January 8 JESUS Isaiah 53:1-5
Good morning from Pastor Glen Brock, Baptist Tabernacle Church, Wendell, North Carolina… “Who 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.” (Isaiah 53:1-5)
Who is this Man that was bruised for our sins and suffered, bled and died for our transgressions? Who is this Man that was Raised from the Dead and IS OUR SAVIOR? JESUS CHRIST, The SON of GOD! When I think about this Man called Jesus, I get excited and grateful. The New Testament provides a beautiful summation of the Man called Jesus. In Matthew, Christ is our Messiah! In Mark, He is our Servant King! In Luke, He is the Great Physician! In John, He is the Son of God! In Acts, He is the Risen Lord! In Romans, He is our Righteousness! In Corinthians, He is our Holiness! In Galatians, He is our Justification! In Ephesians, He is our Perfection! In Philippians, He is our Provider! In Colossians, He is our Hope! In Thessalonians, He is our Coming King! In Timothy, He is our Shepherd! In Titus, He is our Rewarder! In Philemon, He is our Encourager! In Hebrews, He is our High Priest! In James, He is our Wisdom! In Peter, He is our Inheritance! In John, He is our Lover! In Jude, He is our Warrior! In Revelation, He is the Alpha and Omega! The Beginning and the End! Regardless of what He is Called, I know Him as my SAVIOR! How About You? TO GOD, BE THE GLORY! Stay Strong, Stay Focused… THE BEST IS YET TO BE!
