Isaiah 53-1 God Gave us Advanced Warning · Life For Toledo

• 0:00
  I'm thinking today of Isaiah 53.1.
• 0:05
  Isaiah 53.1, it says,
• 0:07
  Who has believed our message,
• 0:10
  and to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?
• 0:13
  Now this chapter of Isaiah goes on to very,
• 0:17
  in a very kind of detailed way,
• 0:19
  talk about the coming of Jesus.
• 0:20
  And so it's a great prophecy from hundreds of years
• 0:23
  before Jesus was even born,
• 0:25
  about the life, death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus.
• 0:29
  But here is Isaiah asking the question,
• 0:32
  Who has believed our report,
• 0:34
  and to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?
• 0:36
  Now I have accepted Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior,
• 0:40
  and perhaps you have too, I hope you have.
• 0:42
  And I know many that profess to have accepted Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior,
• 0:46
  and they testify that the God of heaven did save their soul,
• 0:50
  that He now lives in them, His Holy Spirit lives in them.
• 0:53
  I understand that there are a lot of variations
• 0:56
  of the way people live once they accept Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior.
• 1:01
  Some of them may not look to us like they are even living for the Lord,
• 1:05
  that they even know what a Lord is.
• 1:08
  The Lord is a person who tells you what to do, and you do it.
• 1:10
  That being said, Jesus has been revealed as the arm of the Lord.
• 1:15
  And there are those who believe in Jesus,
• 1:17
  who are making a report of what they have experienced
• 1:21
  with Jesus coming in to lead their lives.
• 1:23
  Jesus is leading my life,
• 1:25
  and I love Him and I want to follow Him every day,
• 1:27
  and He leads me every day.
• 1:29
  And if you're sharing your report, you might ask this very same question.
• 1:32
  The bottom line is, do you believe, have you believed in the report
• 1:36
  and seen the arm of the Lord revealed? I hope you have.
