"He was despised and
abandoned by men, a man of sorrows and acquainted with grief; and like one from
whom men hide their face He was despised, and we did not esteem Him." (Isaiah
53:3)
Bible scholars suggest that
the Book of Isaiah was likely written between 740 B.C. and 686 B.C. Although it
was penned approximately 750 years before the birth of Christ, God revealed the
sufferings of the Lord Jesus Christ to Isaiah as clearly as a motion picture.
The vision Isaiah beheld
regarding the sufferings of Jesus Christ was fulfilled 100 percent. In his
vision, Jesus Christ was despised, rejected, full of sorrow, and experienced
deep suffering. Furthermore, Isaiah notes that we hid our faces from Him and did
not esteem Him.
It has been 2,026 years since
Christ was born, suffered, died, and rose again. Yet, we cannot deny that the
very vision Isaiah saw is still unfolding in the world today. Even now, Christ
remains despised, rejected, and filled with sorrow by many. Change does not
come simply because we weep for Him during these forty days of Lent or during
Holy Week alone.
When we sin against God,
maintaining an ungodly mindset and lifestyle that He dislikes, and then attend
Sunday services merely out of duty, it means we are despising Him. It means we
are rejecting Him and hiding our faces from Him. It implies that we are
disrespecting and trampling underfoot the blood He shed for us on the cross.
Yes, dear ones, consider this:
"How much severer
punishment do you think he will deserve who has trampled underfoot the Son of
God, and has regarded as unclean the blood of the covenant by which he was
sanctified, and has insulted the Spirit of grace?" (Hebrews 10:29)
The vision Isaiah saw
concerning the Lord Jesus Christ nearly 750 years before His birth is true; it
is true that Jesus Christ suffered, died, was buried, and rose again for us; it
is true that there is redemption through His blood. Likewise, it is also true
that many people today reject this precious redemption.
The Maundy Thursday service is
not a mere ritual. Unless we confess our sins with true repentance and are
washed by the blood of Christ, it remains an empty ceremony. What is the use of
merely stating that this is the day Christ instituted the priesthood and the
Holy Eucharist, if we live lives that dishonour both and remain unworthy of
these claims?
If we live in such a state, it
means we continue to despise and reject Him even today. It means He remains a
man of sorrows and one who experiences grief; it means we have hidden our faces
from Him and have not esteemed Him.
