I'm thinking today of Isaiah 53.1.
Isaiah 53.1, it says,
Who has believed our message,
and to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?
Now this chapter of Isaiah goes on to very,
in a very kind of detailed way,
talk about the coming of Jesus.
And so it's a great prophecy from hundreds of years
before Jesus was even born,
about the life, death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus.
But here is Isaiah asking the question,
Who has believed our report,
and to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?
Now I have accepted Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior,
and perhaps you have too, I hope you have.
And I know many that profess to have accepted Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior,
and they testify that the God of heaven did save their soul,
that He now lives in them, His Holy Spirit lives in them.
I understand that there are a lot of variations
of the way people live once they accept Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior.
Some of them may not look to us like they are even living for the Lord,
that they even know what a Lord is.
The Lord is a person who tells you what to do, and you do it.
That being said, Jesus has been revealed as the arm of the Lord.
And there are those who believe in Jesus,
who are making a report of what they have experienced
with Jesus coming in to lead their lives.
Jesus is leading my life,
and I love Him and I want to follow Him every day,
and He leads me every day.
And if you're sharing your report, you might ask this very same question.
The bottom line is, do you believe, have you believed in the report
and seen the arm of the Lord revealed? I hope you have.
