Isaiah 53:2

For He shall grow up before Him as a tender plant, and as root out of dry ground. He has no form or comeliness; and when we see Him, there is no beauty that we should desire Him.

To You Lord Jesus I acknowledge that all glory and honor is Yours forever and ever. Yours is the kingdom and the power in whom we have redemption through Your blood the forgiveness of our sins. You deliver us from the power of darkness, the temptations of this present age. We are forever grateful. But yet even today You are despised and rejected. I pray Lord for the darkened eyes that do not behold Your beauty, a beauty that is not worldly or cosmetic but is radiant in love, grace and peace. Wake up the people Lord by Your Spirit as You first came as a tender lamb but will return as a roaring lion. I marvel Lord that despite all that You endured going to the cross You uttered not a word. A lesson I need to learn and master as I always want my feelings, thoughts and opinions heard. Forgive me for the times I demand my way instead of following You. Forgive me for the times I argue with You instead of trusting Father knows best. Forgive me for the times when I'm so concerned with my outward appearance while my inners stink like rotten fish. Help me Holy Spirit to be tender and forgiving. The reminder that forgiveness is not an emotion or a feeling but an action that You so graciously dispensed from Calvery. I'm thankful You are not fickle and moody, but constant and consistent. Oh, that You have put in my wretched heart to desire You more and see Your true beauty now and forever more. Amen.

Colossians 1:14, Galatians 1 and Isaiah 53

The Roman Road

Who is Good?
Romans 3:10-12 As it is written: "There is none righteous, no, not one; There is none who understands; There is none who seek after God. They have all turned aside; They have together become unprofitable; There is none who does good, no not one."
Who has sinned?
Romans 3:23 "For all have sinned, and fall short of the glory of God;"
The eternal cost of your sin.
Romans 6:23a "For the wages of sin is death..." Romans 1:18a "For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men..."
Nothing you can do can save you.
Romans 3:20a "Therefore by the deeds of the law no flesh shall be justified in His sight..." Romans 3:27 "Where is boasting then? It is excluded. By what law? Of what works? No, but by the law of faith."
God's love has made a way!
Romans 5:8-9 "But God demonstrates His own love towards us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Much more then, having been justified by His blood, we shall be saved from wrath through Him."
You must place your complete faith in Jesus Christ.
Romans 3:22 "Even the righteousness of God, through faith in Jesus Christ, to all and on all who believe for there is no difference:"
Romans 10:9 "That if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus Christ and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from" the dead, you shall be saved.
Romans 3:28 "Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith apart from the deeds of the law."
If you really believe that Jesus Christ alone can save you...
Romans 4:21 "And being fully convinced that what He had promised He will also perform."
...then pray and ask Him.
Romans 10:13 "For whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved."
Romans 10:11 "For the Scriptures says, Whoever believes on Him will not be put to shame."
Will you recieve Him as your Savior today?
If you have trusted Christ as your own personal Savior, please email and let me know so that I may rejoice and pray with you.
