This was not the text I sat down to prepare for this Lords day. But when I read it the Lord provoked my heart and I fell down on my knees and wept.
1 Who has believed what he has heard from us? And to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?
2 For he grew up before him like a young plant, and like a root out of dry ground; he had no form or majesty that we should look at him, and no beauty that we should desire him.
3 He was despised and rejected by men, a man of sorrows and acquainted with grief; and as one from whom men hide their faces he was despised, and we esteemed him not.
4 Surely he has borne our griefs and carried our sorrows; yet we esteemed him stricken, smitten by God, and afflicted.
5 But he was pierced for our transgressions; he was crushed for our iniquities; upon him was the chastisement that brought us peace, and with his wounds we are healed.
6 All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned—every one—to his own way; and the Lord has laid on him the iniquity of us all.
7 He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth; like a lamb that is led to the slaughter, and like a sheep that before its shearers is silent, so he opened not his mouth.
8 By oppression and judgment he was taken away; and as for his generation, who considered that he was cut off out of the land of the living, stricken for the transgression of my people?
9 And they made his grave with the wicked and with a rich man in his death, although he had done no violence, and there was no deceit in his mouth.
10 Yet it was the will of the Lord to crush him; he has put him to grief; when his soul makes an offering for guilt, he shall see his offspring; he shall prolong his days; the will of the Lord shall prosper in his hand.
11 Out of the anguish of his soul he shall see and be satisfied; by his knowledge shall the righteous one, my servant, make many to be accounted righteous, and he shall bear their iniquities.
12 Therefore I will divide him a portion with the many, and he shall divide the spoil with the strong, because he poured out his soul to death and was numbered with the transgressors; yet he bore the sin of many, and makes intercession for the transgressors.
The Lord graciously humbled me to tears, The all powerful Almighty, able to crush my life before my very eyes, humbled me in the privacy of my own office. Showing even more His love for me.
Have you ever wondered how much God loves you?jhwx
Before I read our text today I want you to think back of your week.
I want you to think how you served the Righteous King, the great I AM, The Creator of all things, the Alpha and the Omega. Have you served Him?
Have you kept his commandments? and Have they been burdensome to you?
Or have you only asked Him for His blessings?
Have you put everything on the line?
Have you been willing to jeopardize a relationship just so people understand how necessary it is that they repent of their sins and turn to God?
Do you feel alone? Do you think to yourself “I know God loves me but I am so insignificant why should he bless me”
Do you think to yourself, God will understand why I didn’t do this, or do that. I meant well and thats what matters.
Brothers and sisters I tell you that this text today should bring you to tears. What I am going to preach and read to you is so descriptive of how the Lord Loves his people.
\Warning to the unbeliever/
The Story of Gods love… the story that will be infamous for all eternity. The story that the entire universe was created to center around.
Our focus today will be specifically on vs 10
10 But the Lord was pleased To crush Him, putting Him to grief; If He would render Himself as a guilt offering, He will see His offspring, He will prolong His days, And the good pleasure of the Lord will prosper in His hand.
God loves his people so much He not only SENT HIS SON TO HIS DEATH FOR YOU!

How dare any of you say to yourself that God is cold or that He is trying to torment you!
EVERYTHING THAT GOD DOES IN YOUR LIFE IS FOR YOU BE MORE LIKE HIM!
5 Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding.
6 In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths.
7 Be not wise in your own eyes; fear the Lord, and turn away from evil.
8 It will be healing to your flesh and refreshment to your bones.
Do you think the God who was pleased to send His son to the cross for your sake is going to let you mess up your salvation?
1 “You shall therefore love the Lord your God and keep his charge, his statutes, his rules, and his commandments always.
3 For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments. And his commandments are not burdensome.
4 For everyone who has been born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has overcome the world—our faith.
5 Who is it that overcomes the world except the one who believes that Jesus is the Son of God?
