“As many were astonished at thee; his visage was so marred more than any man, and his form more than the sons of men:”
Isaiah 52:14 KJV
The prophecy of Jesus on the Cross by Isaiah, pictures Jesus as so brutally beaten that the onlookers were appalled at the sight of Him. He no longer looked like a man, so marred was His appearance, like an object of horror. This is the unparalleled suffering of our Salvation Who died for us. This Salvation was the focus of the prophets who prophesied of this outpouring of grace that was destined for us. They made a careful search and investigation of the meaning of their God-given prophecies as they probed into the mysteries of Who would fulfill them and the time period when it would all take place. The Spirit of the Anointed One was in them and was pointing prophetically to the sufferings that Christ was destined to suffer and the glories that would be released afterward. These glories were to be released on all who believed in the finished work of the Cross. Our part is to only believe what Christ did for each one of us. Let’s only believe! Amen!
