Studying through the amazing prophecy of Isaiah 53 it strikes me how much of a comfort these words, penned 700 years before the personal war that took place at the Mount of Olives, would have been to the One who was about to voluntarily lay down His life. Many times this section although not down playing the very real cost also exalts the reward of His suffering.
"He will see His offspring, He will prolong His days,
and the will of Adonai will succeed by His hand."
"As a result of the anguish of His soul
He will see it and be satisfied by His knowledge."
"The Righteous One, My Servant will make many righteous
and He will bear their iniquities."
"Therefore I will give Him a portion with the great,
and He will divide the spoil with the mighty—
because He poured out His soul to death"
Grateful to the one true God, who sees the struggles we will go through beforehand and prepares the comfort, strength, grace and mercy we will need for the journey.
Let faith arise!
Let gratitude arise!
Let praise arise!
Let worship arise!
For the Lord is good, His mercies are everlasting!
