“Who
hath believed our report? and to whom is the arm of the LORD revealed? For he
shall grow up before him as a tender plant, and as a root out of a dry ground:
he hath no form nor comeliness; and when we shall see him, there is no
beauty that we should desire him” (Isaiah 53:1-2).
Today’s morsel: The report of the
coming Messiah was not accepted by everyone, somewhat like today. You can tell
people that Jesus is coming again, yet many will not believe your report.
Isaiah said that Jesus would grow up as a tender plant and as a root out of the
dry ground. He goes on to tell us, “And in that day there shall be a root
of Jesse, which shall stand for an ensign of the people; to it shall the
Gentiles seek: and his rest shall be glorious” (Isaiah
11:10). The apostle Paul would inform us, “Now I say that Jesus
Christ was a minister of the circumcision for the truth of God, to confirm the
promises made unto the fathers: And that the Gentiles might glorify God
for his mercy; as it is written, For this cause I will confess to
thee among the Gentiles, and sing unto thy name. And again he saith, Rejoice,
ye Gentiles, with his people. And again, Praise the Lord, all ye Gentiles; and
laud him, all ye people” (Romans 15:8-11). The
Jews did not receive the report, and for this reason, Jesus was not manifested
to them as the promised Messiah. Whose report will you believe? I
choose to believe the truth of God's word.
Sing: Whose report will you believe? We shall believe the
report of the Lord? Whose report will you believe? We shall believe the
report of the Lord. His report says I am healed. His report says I
am filled. His report says I am free, His report says victory.
Thought For Today: Whose report will
you believe?
