*Isaiah 53*
* *
* Some argue that there is no way to know of Whom the prophet speaks.
Still others believe that Isaiah was describing not just one man but a host of men that would live and die in service to God.
I think you know what I believe.
Some find it amazing that this prophecy, written nearly 700 years before the birth of Jesus of Nazareth, should so accurately foretell the circumstances under which He would be born, live, and die.
As it turns out, the prophet was rightly concerned that no one would believe his report.

*Has the Gospel message lost its appeal?
I am convinced that Satan believes this to be the case.
The hearts of men are not so tender these days.
Neither Jesus nor the needs of the lost has changed.
