“Who
has believed our report?” Isaiah 53:1
There are people in this world that,
when they hear a tornado warning, run outside to see it coming. The warning said
“take shelter”. They believed the tornado was coming but they didn’t believe
the report about taking shelter. The same is true for many people who live in
low lying areas when there is a flood warning. They want to watch the water
rise and then hope to get rescued. So, God asks this question, “Who has believed our report?”
Who has believed that God is a
righteous Judge? Who has believed that sin brings death apart from Him forever?
Who believes that the Son of God has come to seek and to save that which was
lost? Who has believed that Jesus Christ, the Son of God, died for their sins?
That is God’s report. Who has believed it? Those who do have God’s promise of
eternal life. All of Isaiah 53 is the announcement of this truth that God calls
on all mankind to believe.
Dear Father, Thank You for the
warning and the provision for our salvation. Amen.
Until Monday, my friends, may the good God envelop
you with His grace; may you prove the common confession of faith, “I believe in
the holy Christian church and in the fellowship of the saints”, and may you be
enriched with joy and hope as you exercise that confession this weekend. Amen
