Isaiah chapter 53 gives us many insights into what Jesus has done for us. Verse 2 says he had no beauty or majesty to attract us to him, nothing in his appearance that we should desire him. Something I feel like God has been showing me is that just like Jesus became sin so that we could become righteous, and he became poor so that we might be rich, he set aside his beauty and majesty so that he could make us beautiful.
Today's communion is a time of gratitude for all Jesus has done for us. And we are asking God for wisdom and understanding of these scriptures and what they mean for us.
Here is Isaiah 53:1-3:
1 Who has believed our message and to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?
2 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 him.
3 He 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.
Today's Health/Fitness Tip
The first thing we eat or drink everyday influences our brain chemistry for the rest of the day. I believe water is supposed to be the first thing we consume each day. This little shift also helps with digestion.
I am praying for you.
