Who has believed our message and to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?

Isaiah 52:13-53:12

See, my servant will act wiselyhe will be raised and lifted up and highly exaltedJust as there were many who were appalled at him— his appearance was so disfigured beyond that of any human being and his form marred beyond human likeness— so he will sprinkle many nations, and kings will shut their mouths because of him. For what they were not told, they will see, and what they have not heard, they will understand.

Who has believed our message and to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed? 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 himHe was despised and rejected by mankind, 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.

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[a] 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.

Why?

Isaiah describes the servant of the Lord, Jesus Christ, who had no beauty or majesty to attract us to him. He was despised and rejected by mankind.

The plan of God's salvation to us is so detailed and described here, It is an amazing story before Jesus came.

God's plan is beyond our imagination, God's way is perfect and full of love for us.

But who has believed our message and to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?

僕人之歌:

耶和華的僕人52:13 讓君王無話可說,不是用外貌吸引人,而是權柄

我們所傳的誰信呢?

我們都如羊走迷;各人偏行己路:

他像羊羔被牽到宰殺之地: 僕人無罪受欺壓!

耶和華定意將他壓傷,父親心是傷痛的。父愛世人的心,勝過愛自己的兒子!超越這個愛!

人為什麼不信?人想聽什麼?

------------------

How?

The way to heaven and eternal life is narrow and found people are less. I am fortunate and be a loved one who may become a son of the Lord through Jesus Christ.
