The work of Jesus Christ: bringing a lost world back to God<br />
ISAIAH<br />
CHAPTER 53<br />
Who has believed our message? To whom<br />
has the arm of the Lord been revealed? For<br />
he grew up before him as a tender plant, and<br />
as a root out of dry ground. He has no good<br />
looks or majesty. When we see him, there<br />
is no beauty that we should desire him. He<br />
was despised, and rejected by men; a man<br />
of suffering, and acquainted with disease.<br />
He was despised as one from whom men<br />
hide their face; and we didn’t respect him.<br />
Surely he has borne our sickness, and<br />
carried our suffering; yet we considered<br />
him plagued, struck by God, and afflicted.<br />
But he was pierced for our transgressions.<br />
He was crushed for our iniquities. The<br />
punishment that brought our peace was on<br />
him; and by his wounds we are healed.<br />
All we like sheep have gone astray.<br />
Everyone has turned to his own way; and<br />
the Lord has laid on him the iniquity of<br />
us all. He was oppressed, yet when he was<br />
afflicted he didn’t open his mouth. As a<br />
lamb that is led to the slaughter, and as a<br />
PSALM<br />
CHAPTER 27, KJV<br />
The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall<br />
I fear? the Lord is the strength of my life; of whom<br />
shall I be afraid? When the wicked, even mine enemies<br />
and my foes, came upon me to eat up my flesh, they<br />
stumbled and fell.Though an host should encamp<br />
against me, my heart shall not fear: though war should<br />
rise against me, in this will I be confident.<br />
One thing have I desired of the Lord, that will I<br />
seek after; that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all<br />
sheep that before its shearers is silent, so he<br />
didn’t open his mouth. He was taken away<br />
by oppression and judgment; and as for his<br />
generation, who considered that he was cut<br />
off out of the land of the living and stricken<br />
for the disobedience of my people?<br />
They made his grave with the wicked,<br />
and with a rich man in his death; although<br />
he had done no violence, nor was any deceit<br />
in his mouth.<br />
Yet it pleased the Lord to bruise him. He<br />
has caused him to suffer. When you make<br />
his soul an offering for sin, he will see his<br />
offspring. He will prolong his days, and the<br />
Lord’s pleasure will prosper in his hand.<br />
After the suffering of his soul, he will see<br />
the light and be satisfied.<br />
My righteous servant will justify many<br />
by the knowledge of himself; and he will<br />
bear their iniquities. Therefore will I give<br />
him a portion with the great, and he will<br />
divide the plunder with the strong; because<br />
he poured out his soul to death, and was<br />
numbered with the transgressors; yet he<br />
bore the sin of many, and made intercession<br />
for the transgressors.<br />
the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the Lord,<br />
and to enquire in his temple. For in the time of trouble<br />
he shall hide me in his pavilion: in the secret of his<br />
tabernacle shall he hide me; he shall set me up upon a<br />
rock. And now shall mine head be lifted up above mine<br />
enemies round about me: therefore will I offer in his<br />
tabernacle sacrifices of joy; I will sing, yea, I will sing<br />
praises unto the Lord.<br />
Hear, O Lord, when I cry with my voice: have mercy<br />
also upon me, and answer me. When thou saidst, Seek<br />
ye my face; my heart said unto thee, Thy face, Lord,<br />
will I seek. Hide not thy face far from me; put not thy<br />
JESUS: He said, “It is finished.” He bowed his head, and gave up his spirit.<br />
The Lord is my light and my salvation — whom shall I fear?<br />
servant away in anger: thou hast been my help; leave<br />
me not, neither forsake me, O God of my salvation.<br />
When my father and my mother forsake me, then the<br />
Lord will take me up.<br />
Teach me thy way, O Lord, and lead me in a plain<br />
path, because of mine enemies. Deliver me not over<br />
unto the will of mine enemies: for false witnesses are<br />
risen up against me, and such as breathe out cruelty. I<br />
had fainted, unless I had believed to see the goodness<br />
of the Lord in the land of the living.<br />
Wait on the Lord: be of good courage, and he shall<br />
strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the Lord.<br />
