Isaiah 53 : 1-7

   
1 Who hath believed our report?
and to whom is the arm of the Lord revealed?
2 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.
3 He is despised and rejected of men;
a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief:
and we hid as it were our faces from him;
he was despised,
and we esteemed him not.
4 Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows:
yet we did esteem him stricken,
smitten of God, and afflicted.
5 But he was wounded for our transgressions,
he was bruised for our iniquities:
the chastisement of our peace was upon him;
and with his stripes we are healed.
6 All we like sheep have gone astray;
we have turned every one to his own way;
and the Lord hath laid on him the iniquity of us all.
7 He was oppressed, and he was afflicted,
yet he opened not his mouth:
he is brought as a lamb to the slaughter,
and as a sheep before her shearers is dumb,
so he openeth not his mouth.





Today's Prayer...



Lord our God,

We hold to you and to your promise.
Though much is hidden from us,
your voice comes clearly to us proclaiming,
"Watch and pray.
You are to await the day of Jesus Christ your Lord,
and you can rejoice now in the midst of strife,
distress, fear, and need."
We thank you for your powerful Word.
However long the time of waiting may be,
your Word remains eternally and will be fulfilled.
Your name shall be honored in the proclamation of your Word,
your kingdom shall come,
and your will shall be done on earth as in heaven.



In the Name of the Most Holy we
pray in Jesus' Name

Amen
