LENTEN SEASON 2025 ~ We Hid as it were our Faces from HIM+ ~ Isaiah 53:3d


HE+ is despised and rejected of men;

a MAN+ of Sorrows,

and acquainted with grief:

and we hid as it were our faces from HIM+;

HE+ was despised,

and we esteemed HIM+ not. 

+  +  +

We turned away from HIM+. 

We hid our faces from The LORD JESUS CHRIST . . .  from the ONE+ Who+ loves us most .  

HE+ knows us better than we know our own self !

We would NOT ACKNOWLEDGE HIM+. 

We refused to acknowledge HIM+ as LORD of our lives… even though we may have attended church and knew that HE+ walked as The Promised MESSIAH+ upon this earth.

We ignored HIS+ tug on our hearts.

We refused to acknowledge His+ RIGHT to control us.

We have ignored His+ Commandments to forgive and love our enemies . . . and our relatives . . .  and our neighbors.

We not only turned our face from HIM+, but we also plugged our ears from hearing His+ Call.

Our eyes refused to look at HIM+ . Our hearts followed our eyes, even though we KNEW better.

A MAN+ of Sorrows ?

Yes, we have been the source of HIS+ Sorrows.

Acquainted with Grief ?

Yes, when we WON’T EVEN LOOK at HIM+ to see His+ Eyes of Compassion… what GRIEF HE+ is made to bear !

HE+ gave His+ Life for us.

What have we done with His+ Sacrifice ?

+  +  +

Glory be to The FATHER

 WHO sent HIS Only-Begotten SON+,

And to The SON+

Whose+ Blood brought us to The FATHER,

And their HOLY SPIRIT,

Who was sent from The FATHER by The SON+

After HE+ was Glorified.

+  +  +
