The Suffering Servant
As we reflect during Passion Week, it is almost impossible to think and bear those thoughts sometimes because of the amount of what Jesus experienced for all of us.
Imagine yourself present on that day, huddle amongst a beleaguered crowd.
It is sometimes hard to comprehend the crucifixion of Jesus. To die instantly would have been a blessing, but it would deny the suffering that was meant for us.
We are very familiar with the sanitized version of Jesus hanging on a cross, imagery and paintings, movie depictions and such.
But have you ever considered the actual brutality of what they did to him?
I will spare the horrific details here, but I’m sure your imagination will be enough based on historical accounts of Roman crucifixions.
When one reads through Isaiah 52:14 you truly get an idea…
“Just as there were many who were appalled at him— his appearance was so disfigured beyond that of any human being and his form marred beyond human likeness—”
Isaiah 52:14 NIV
Another version…
“As many were astonished at you— his appearance was so marred, beyond human semblance, and his form beyond that of the children of mankind—”
Isaiah 52:14 ESV
Isaiah describes it so accurately.
His face was so disfigured he seemed hardly human, and from his appearance, one would scarcely known he was a man.
Imagine yourself there that day, looking up at Him hanging on that cross. You are not even sure if that is a male or female because his flesh was ravaged from his body.
Now, read through Isaiah 53.
You will come to these verses…
“Yet it was the will of the Lord to crush him; he has put him to grief; when his soul makes an offering for guilt, he shall see his offspring; he shall prolong his days; the will of the Lord shall prosper in his hand.
Out of the anguish of his soul he shall see and be satisfied; by his knowledge shall the righteous one, my servant, make many to be accounted righteous, and he shall bear their iniquities.
Therefore I will divide him a portion with the many, and he shall divide the spoil with the strong, because he poured out his soul to death and was numbered with the transgressors; yet he bore the sin of many, and makes intercession for the transgressors.”
—Isaiah 53:10-12 ESV
Jesus was never a victim. He was placed on displayed to be shamed, humiliated and executed. He was never a pawn in a political power arena or even at the mercy of the Roman government…this was ALL planned and ordained by God.
You see, the devil lost his leverage that day. This was God’s victory.
It may have looked final…
It may look as though hope was lost…
It may have looked like Jesus was the enemy of God…
It may look like the devil won…
And, yet Isaiah states…”Yet it was the will of the Lord…”
Another version says it this way…
“Yet it pleased the Lord to bruise him…”
But as it accomplished the work of reconciling the world to Himself, it was completely pleasing to God the Father. This was foretold. It would happen. The prophecy was fulfilled.
I don’t ever want to lose sight of this. I never want to take it for granted or abuse the grace bestowed to me either. He was broken for you and I.
To be broken, is to be surrendered.
To be surrendered, is to be reconciled.
To be reconciled is to be whole.
To be whole, is to be complete.
To be complete, is to be victorious.
To be victorious is to be free in Him.
It is finished!
We celebrate not the suffering of Christ, even though he felt the horror of our sins as we who have sinned could not feel it. This is the finished work of reconciliation of man to God. It was the final installment of a debt we couldn’t pay on our own.
The debt was satisfied.
The offering of the Lamb, our Messiah; his death and burial does not end the story… He lives!
Oh how glorious…our resurrected Messiah…He lives!
I’ll say it again…He lives!!

Testimony Tuesday
Today’s video testimony is a powerful reminder of our ability to stay calm and trust in God’s truth when you are under attack by the enemy.
When there is discord between you and a family member things can get heated up, and before you know it everything escalates, and we feel as though things are worse than before.
Watch this powerful testimony of this woman who identified immediately who she was really dealing with when it came to her unbelieving husband.
Listen as she describes the way she handled the situation. You can sense her confidence because she is spiritually/sober minded and vigilant on what was going on. She recognized her adversary and warriored up! (I don’t believe that is in the english dictionary but it sounds good to me)
It takes active discerment to recognize who the real enemy is. This only comes when we acknowledge who God is, believe and act on His Word, have faith and a deep relationship with Him. And, of course fervent prayers. When we choose God’s way in handling situations versus our own, we become thoroughly equipped to put out the flaming arrows or fiery darts of the enemy…we will never be shaken again.
Let us be spiritually aware and mindful of the power that resides in us. If we do our part, God will take care of the rest. In return we have His peace knowing He has us and our loved ones covered as we wait for Him to work out all these things.
Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour.
1 Peter 5: 8
“…above all, taking the shield of faith with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one.”
Ephesians 6:16

The Lord is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart; and saveth such as be of a contrite spirit.

Testimony Tuesday
Unmovable. This word defines itself.
Have you ever desired a faith so strong that you would classify it as unmovable, unshakable, unflappable, trusting faith?
But when that storm comes and slams you right out of the gate out of nowhere, sometimes panic sets in. We’re caught off guard.
We begin to ask, “Why did this happen to me, what did I do to deserve this?
Perhaps it has more to do with the enemy than you realize.
We forget sometimes that we are at war in the spiritual realm. The enemy hates it when we pray, especially when we proclaim and declare God’s Word over loved ones, or a situation where we take a stance directly in opposition to the enemy.
I love how this woman in today’s video prayed over her family, warring over them and yes even generational type prayers. She struck a nerve in the enemy no doubt.
Listen as she gives her testimony regarding a sudden event that came upon her in the midst of her warfare prayers and her response and reaction to it.
It’s not the circumstances—it’s how you react to the circumstances.
The enemy tried to intimidate her, and she knew it.
She was unmoved because she knows her God and trusts Him.
Be unmovable.
Remember, God is good all the time…
all the time God is good!
