Now Serving…Suffering

We all at some level can understand what it means to suffer. I am sure that at some point in your life you have yourself suffered or have known someone who has. This week, as we approach Isaiah 53 – one of the key descriptions of Jesus and what He will experience. 

READ – Isaiah 53 “Suffering Servant Text” 

PRAY – That Jesus would draw near to you and that you would better understand what it means that He went through the heights and depths of human experience and how He is able to know how you feel. 

Three things to reflect on for the rest of the week.

  1. How does Isaiah 53 describe how Jesus will suffer? Like really…On scale of 1 to 10 of intensity – what would you rate that? 
  2. How does this help us to better understand Jesus by seeing that He is well acquainted with
    suffering? 
  3. How can our understanding of Jesus and His suffering help us and understanding ours?
