"Out of the anguish of his soul he shall see and be satisfied;
by his knowledge shall the righteous one, my servant,
make many to be accounted righteous,
and he shall bear their iniquities."
Wow.
Lord how could such glory come from such anguish? How could such glory come from such shame? The Creator of the universe willingly made Himself into the likeness of man, only to be stripped naked and killed by the very ones He created. And the Most bizarre thing is that He did it for me and it's always been His plan!For so long (and still now) I searched for belonging & significance in people, places, and things and its not until I look at the cross that I see the fulfillment of it all. Not only did seek these things, but I worshipped them and served them, doing all sorts of things (and even enslaved to some). I 'd do them even when I knew they were wrong.
But Lord your are mighty to save! As I listen to this song (Mighty to Save by Hillsong United) I am awed by Your power. More so I am awed at the direction you decided to demonstrate that power...on me! There is no way that I could ever get to you without you first coming to get me. It only makes sense, otherwise You would have never had to become flesh. I tried to get to You so many times when I was younger yet I never could because too many things seemed more beautiful then You did. Yet when I was unblinded to and Your life giving blood ran through my veins it was as if I had been made alive!
All of this because Jesus came to the Earth as the suffering servant. He didn't seek to rule with an iron fist, but with compassionate servanthood. So Lord as I seek to make much of You would I seek to do so as You did. Serving , to the point of death, for the glory of God.
Your son &servant,
