"So Philip ran to him, and heard him reading from the prophet Isaiah...The place in the Scripture which he read was this: 'He was led as a sheep to the slaughter, and as a lamb before its shearers is silent, so He opened not His mouth.' "
Acts 8:30a, 32
The Ethiopian was reading from Isaiah 53. It is one of my favorite Scripture passages. It is such a vivid prophecy of my dear Savior:
"He was despised and rejected by men, a man acquainted with grief...
Surely He has borne our griefs and carried our sorrows...
He was wounded for our transgressions; He was bruised for our iniquities;
The chastisement of our peace was upon him, And by His stripes we are healed.
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." (Isaiah 53:3-6)
I humbly bow again before the Lord Jesus in thanksgiving and adoration because He took my sin and paid the penalty. Hallelujah! What a Savior.
Today's Thought: Isaiah 53 draws us to the passion of the Lord Jesus Christ.
Have a thankful day. Love you.
