Isaiah 53: 8
Who considered that He was cut off out of the land of the living, for the transgression of my people to whom the stroke was due?
Our Father told us ahead of time so clearly and detailed what He is going to do. But our understanding is dull, and we do not see what is right before our eyes. Only after He has accomplished His Word are we able to comprehend what was laid out so succinctly before us.
Even those who were the experts in the Law, who had spent their lives studying what He revealed, did not mix their knowledge with faith to trust God, so did not recognize when Jesus fulfilled every detail of what Isaiah wrote in this chapter, and other Scriptures.
The disciples and apostles could perceive what they personally witnessed only after God's Holy Spirit opened their eyes and understanding.
Father, please open our eyes today to see Your Truth, and teach us how to share with others who need to know these things, so that we all will be preparing for what is ahead, and be ready to greet our Sovereign King, Lord Jesus, when He appears in His glory!
Even so, come, Lord Jesus!
