Isaiah tells us of the birth of Christ long before the event took place. Hundreds of years before. This event was shown to Isaiah by GOD. GOD knew that the only way to save us from our sinful ways was not through the law.
The law was not enough to keep us from sinning. We continue to sin regardless of the law. So what we need is salvation, not through our own works or even through our own confession of sin, but rather by the total grace of GOD.
GOD showed Isaiah that through a virgin, a lamb, a scapegoat, a perfect being without blemish would come to earth and live amongst us. He would take all our sins onto the cross with Him and He would die for our sins.
That is not the end of the story, but rather the beginning. Christ would overcome the grave and would rise after three days and He would ascend into Heaven after being on earth for another forty days. There in Heaven, He sits at the right hand of the FATHER.
What grace we are given!
Let us accept this today and throw ourselves onto the grace of GOD for our salvation. Let us take Jesus Christ as our Lord and Saviour. Let us ask GOD to forgive our sins and let us forgive those who sin against us.
Prayer: Heavenly FATHER GOD I thank YOU that YOU are a GOD of enormous grace. I thank YOU that YOU promised to send YOUR Son to die for my sins and that YOU keep YOUR promises.
Today FATHER forgive my sins as I forgive those who sin against me. I pray this in the Holy Name of my Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ. Amen.
Stay graciously GOD blessed today!
