Its February 21, 2015, and another week has come to a close. Its the sabbath and our day for rest, and devotion to our God in fellowship with Him and in fellowship with our brothers and sisters in Christ.

This week, we are looking into Isaiah chapters 52-53. These chapters are a depiction of Jesus. Isaiah seems to describe in detail about Jesus as if he were actually at the cross. Although the scripture doesn’t indicate who Isaiah saw, it was revealed to him that someone would take away sins.

53:2 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.

This “servant” was not that of a beautiful individual. He was a common man. We’ve been lulled to sleep by the books and media that Christ was a handsome, tall stature of a man, with long blond hair and blue eyes. This just isn’t biblical.

One of the questions that was asked about these chapters is based on the description of “the servant,” in the eyes of Isaiah, could attributes of the servant be comparable to attributes of God Himself? Although, we can’t speak for Isaiah, based on the knowledge that he had about God’s attributes from the law and other old testament writings during his time, it is very likely that this servant could be compared to God.

This was a very interesting study and worth taking a good look at as it is one of the passages in scripture that describe our Messiah in detail concerning what He accomplished for us at cavalry.
