Where can we read about the power of Jesus?
Where can we learn of His humble beginning on Earth?
Where can we read of how He was despised and rejected by people?
Where can we learn about His suffering and how we, as people, misunderstood that this was necessary?
Where can we learn that He was taking the punishment for us; because of our sinful nature?
Where can we learn that He was forced to endure so much because we strayed?
Where can we read that He bore all this in silence?
Where can we be informed that He went through a sham of a trial?
Where can we be told that He was buried in a rich man’s tomb?
Where can we be informed that He enjoys everlasting life since restitution is paid?
Where can read that many will be acquitted of their sins because of His sacrifice?
Where can we be told that victory is His because He willingly submitted to death for our sake?
If you answered the Gospels, you would be correct.
Yet there is another place where you can find the answer to every single one of my questions.
That place is Isaiah Chapter 53.
What makes this truly remarkable is that these words were recorded centuries before the events actually took place.
What is more they took place exactly the way they were recorded.
That is what makes this prophecy.
Jesus fulfilled that prophecy down to the smallest detail.
As we approach Easter, I invite you to read Isaiah 53.
Reflect on how Jesus fulfilled this prophecy.
Once you have done so, take time to thank Him.
After all, He did this for us.
