The Suffering servant

In Luke 24:27 we read that Jesus interpreted to them in all the Scriptures the things concerning himself. Likely one of those passages was Isaiah, chapter 53. Read Isaiah 53:1-12.
Now read Isaiah 53:4-6 again, making it personal between you and your Savior. Read slowly, attentively, thoughtfully, several times:
Surely you have borne my griefs and carried my sorrows; yet I esteemed you stricken, smitten by God and afflicted. But you were wounded for my transgressions; you were crushed for my iniquities; upon you was the chastisement that brought me peace, and with your stripes I am healed. Like a sheep I have gone astray; I have turned to my own way; and the Lord has laid on you all of my iniquity.
A major theme of Christ’s instruction for the two disciples on the Emmaus road was the necessity of His sufferings (Lk. 24:26). Perhaps as they heard Him describe Himself as the Suffering Servant of Isaiah 53, they also saw themselves in Isaiah’s testimony as the recipients of the benefits of his suffering. No wonder their "hearts burned within them."
Nothing ignites the heart of the believer more than a fresh awareness of the sacrificial, personal love of the Savior. As Paul said in Galatians 2:20c – "He loved me and gave himself for me!" Meditate on this truth and let it fill and permeate your heart today.
Write a worshipful, grateful, loving response to Christ for His love for you personally
Thank you Father for saving me. For reaching way down to a young girl and helping her out of the middle of a family that didn't know you or have any interest in you. Thank you for giving all my family a chance to get to know you. I love you and I know that it has been because of you that I have a mind to serve you. Father you know the changes that took place over the years and especially in 2007. This is a new year and I pray for a new me! In my heart I want to please you and love others like you love me. Please forgive me for anything that shouldn't be in my heart and help my eyes see all souls as you see them. I believe that this is a day of love and forgiveness. We must love one another as you love us. Thank you for this priviledge of writing even if no one but you sees it. You are my life. Father lead me where you want me. Let me know what I should do in all things. I must move forward. Let it be where you want me because I could never be happy unless I am in your will. Teach me to love and not withdraw from anyone.
It's in your name and for your glory that I ask these things and that I praise you from my heart. As I go to LeTourneau today let some soul need a smile or a hug or a prayer and make my eyes to see and not miss it. AMEN
