Who has believed our message? To whom has the LORD revealed his powerful arm? My servant grew up in the LORD’s presence like a tender green shoot, like a root in dry ground. There was nothing beautiful or majestic about his appearance, nothing to attract us to him. He was despised and rejected— a man of sorrows, acquainted with deepest grief. We turned our backs on him and looked the other way. He was despised, and we did not care. Yet it was our weaknesses he carried; it was our sorrows that weighed him down. And we thought his troubles were a punishment from God, a punishment for his own sins! But he was pierced for our rebellion, crushed for our sins. He was beaten so we could be whole. He was whipped so we could be healed. All of us, like sheep, have strayed away. We have left God’s paths to follow our own. Yet the LORD laid on him the sins of us all. He was oppressed and treated harshly, yet he never said a word. He was led like a lamb to the slaughter. And as a sheep is silent before the shearers, he did not open his mouth.

Jesus is worthy of all praise and glory. We all look at the world's standards when we look for someone who is worthy of our praise. But in accordance to Isaiah, God's standard is different from that only of the world. Jesus, whose description is different from the world, He is the only one who is worthy of our worship.
The single most significant point that there has ever been in human history didn’t start out all that impressive. The life, death, and resurrection of Jesus began with a birth that confounded expectations and rewrote the rules. And yet there was majesty in the manger. But why did it have to be that way? Join this little wander through the Bible's back streets as worship gets truly festive.
This 5-day plan will help you know the true meaning of Easter. Jesus endured terrible suffering and even death for you to have life. Are you ready to experience this victory over death that we have in Jesus Christ? Your life will be transformed!
