"See, my servant will prosper; he will be highly exalted." Isaiah 52:13
DAY 20- It will be a long journey to Bethlehem
Joseph: There are many things we celebrate, but there are two very significant celebrations that will and have changed the lives of many forever, the birth of our Son and the death of our Son. I know this comes at a very unusual time, but it is so important that you understand just how amazing LIFE is! It is what will make the birth of our son so much greater to each of you.
Over the next couple of days we will be hearing from our friend Isaiah and the prophecy He gave long ago about the prominence of our Son’s life.
We must keep traveling, but I want to begin sharing with you a story that still impacts Mary and me so much, a story that brings bittersweet feelings to our heart. We hope that by the time we reach Bethlehem
"See, my servant will prosper; he will be highly exalted. Many were amazed when they saw him-beaten and bloodied, so disfigured one would scarcely know he was a person. And he will again startle many nations. Kings will stand speechless in his presence. For they will see what hey had not previously been told about; they will understand what they had not heard about." Isaiah 52:13-15
Please pardon us for being so emotional, it still humbles us every time we share this story. You see this servant, the one who would be highly exalted, the one who would be beaten and bloodied, so disfigured He could not be recognized, would also be the one that was placed in the womb of my wife Mary. He would be the Savior that would take on our death for us so we could receive life.
So today, today we are celebrating life-life given and life taken. Do you celebrate the gift of true life?
