Isaiah 53:1-5

  "Who has believed out message? And to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?"  The apostle John quotes this passage saying.. "that the word of Isaiah the prophet might be fulfilled, which he spoke... These things Isaiah said, because he saw His glory and he spoke of Him." ( John 12:38-41) 

"the arm of the Lord"  was revealed.. in Jesus.  His strength.. His help.. His mighty power.. has been revealed.. but who will believe?  Jesus "performed so many signs before them, yet they were not believing in Him; " John wrote.. for their eyes were blinded, their hearts were hardened.. " Lest they see with their eyes and perceive with their heart, and be converted and I heal them.." ( v40) 

Jesus came " as light into the world that everyone who believes in [Him] may not remain in darkness."  He "came to save the world".  He came that we might have life. Eternal life.  He came to be "the arm of the Lord".. revealed to us.. 

He was the "tender shoot" who came from the root of Judah. 

He had no "stately form or majesty" 

"He was despised and forsaken of men, a man of sorrows and acquainted with grief; and like one from whom men hide their face, He was despised and we did not esteem Him." 

The arm of the Lord - the might, strength, power, and help of the Lord, Creator of heaven and earth - was revealed in a despised, forsaken, man of sorrows... in Jesus. 

"In fact, it was our diseases (griefs) he bore, our pains from which He suffered; yet we regarded him as punished, stricken and afflicted by God. But he was wounded because of our crimes, crushed because of our sins; the disciplining that makes us whole fell on him, and by his bruises we are healed." (v4-5 CJB)

The might of the Lord our God.. revealed in Christ who suffered and died for us.. What a powerful, beautiful, wonderful Name .. the Name of Jesus. 

Oh Father, no greater love can ever be known, no greater grace can ever be shown.. than what happened that day, when Jesus laid down His life that we might live.  How can we ever thank You enough?  Our praises rise up to You forever and ever.  You have revealed Your might to us, You have opened our blinded eyes.. You have healed our stubborn hearts.. You have forgiven our sin.   Thank You Father..  All praise and glory to our God, Father, Son and Holy Spirit..  Amen.
