Isaiah 51:1-53:12
Listen to me, you who pursue righteousness, you who seek the Lord. Look to the rock from which you were hewn, and to the quarry from which you were dug.
Huh? Where did I come from? Oh, who are my ancestors. I see, the lesson of Abraham and Sarah; they left the place they knew and went to a place unnamed and became a great nation. The Lord, comforts Zion, and makes it to bloom, like a garden. The Lord sets his justice like a light to the peoples...as witness to the rest of the world. Is it evident in me?
Look toward the heavens; they disappear like smoke, and the earth like a worn out garment. (All things pass-even me who will die like a gnat-very small and short-lived I guess) BUT the righteousness of the Lord is forever, and righteousness will never be dismayed.
Awake, awake, put on strength, remember all the times the Lord was with you; the Lord is your strength, your protector and your comforter.
The Lord will redeem us from the pit, and good news is coming; listen.
The Lord reveals himself to us, he sends a redeemer, who we didn't notice or pay attention to, he was not flashy, yet he acted on our behalf; he bore the sin of many and makes intercession for transgressors. (Us.)
Who would pour out this kind of love? He makes many to be accounted righteous, and he bears the punishment of them - for me.
Oh how beautiful our the feet of him who brings good news. This is good news indeed.
Amen. See you tomorrow.
