Isaiah 53 - Day 539 (link to today's reading)
Scripture: Isaiah 53:1-3 Commentary (melissabeaty.com): 2-3 There is no record of the physical appearance of Christ. When He walked on the earth did He have brown hair? Green eyes? No one knows. Nonetheless, there is an abundant record of His character. These verses reveal one such record. From them one knows that: He shows Himself with meekness, coming as a tender plant instead of as a bolt of lightning. There is nothing remarkable about His physical appearance; the Creator of the universe choose to be just average in looks and stature, demonstrating again meekness. He is rejected by those around Him. He bears sorrow in His heart. He has experienced grief. When He is rejected, no one respects Him enough to intervene. Application: God's will for our lives is to be sanctified (Holy) and Jesus is our model. Prayer: Lord, crucify my flesh and my desires... Comments are closed.
