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 />
