—Isaiah 50:4-11
by: Victoria Shephard.
What a beautiful picture of Jesus! His final suffering lies just ahead, but here we see fulfilled prophecy—the scourging, spitting, and taunting he endured. If the One we worship is treated this way, what makes us think we will escape similar treatment? There will always be scoffers, even people that outright hate God and our faith. Jesus told his disciples, “If they have called the head of the house Beelzebul, how much more will they malign the members of his household!” (Matthew 10:25). Jesus died for us; surely we can live for him.
