Who Would Of Thought

Isaiah 53:1-5

"Who believes what we've heard and seen?

Who would have thought God's saving power would look like this?

The servant grew up before God—a scrawny seedling,

a scrubby plant in a parched field.

There was nothing attractive about him,

nothing to cause us to take a second look.

He was looked down on and passed over, a man who suffered, who knew pain firsthand.

One look at him and people turned away.

We looked down on him, thought he was scum.

But the fact is, it was our pains he carried—our disfigurements, all the things wrong with us.

We thought he brought it on himself,

that God was punishing him for his own failures.

But it was our sins that did that to him,

that ripped and tore and crushed him—our sins!

He took the punishment, and that made us whole.

Through his bruises we get healed."

"Who Would of Thought," ... That God Himself would of came down here to this mess we as men/women had made, become One like created man in His Image, and lived in all this mess like us... He fell in love with us, agreed to do as His Father needed Him to do, "He Took The Punishment, and made Us Whole like Him..."

Thank You Jesus!

Brand Plucking

Zechariah 3:1-2

"THEN [the guiding angel] showed me Joshua the high priest standing beforethe Angel of the Lord, and Satan standing at Joshua’s right hand to be his adversary and to accuse him.

And the Lord said to Satan, The Lord rebuke you, O Satan! Even the Lord, Who [now and habitually] chooses Jerusalem, rebuke you! Is not this [returned captive Joshua] a brand plucked out of the fire?"

Satan was told by God; "Back Off, Satan." Jerusalem was chosen by The Lord, and Joshua, Is a "Brand Plucked Out," of Fire!
