Pastor Chris
Yet it pleased the LORD to bruise
him; he hath put him to grief: when thou shalt make his soul an offering for
sin, he shall see his seed, he shall prolong his days, and the pleasure of the
LORD shall prosper in his hand (Isaiah 53:10).
The Lord Jesus came into this world, lived, conquered Satan and the
world, was crucified and buried, rose triumphantly from the dead, and ascended
to heaven. He is in heaven now. In our opening verse, we read that, He shall
see His seed, and shall prolong His days. The seed of Jesus Christ is the
Church: He prolongs His days in the earth through the Church.
Acts 1:1 talks about "…all that Jesus began both to do and teach,";
this refers to His miraculous works and teachings about the Kingdom of God. As
you read further into the book of Acts, you’d find that the Lord continued to
teach and to do the same things through the Apostles whom He had chosen. They,
in turn, delivered the same teachings to others, and finally, it got to every
one of us, and it’ll continue until Jesus comes again. We’re His ambassadors,
teaching the same things He taught, and doing the same works He did.
Always be mindful that Christ is living through you. Today, anyone
who needs to know what Jesus looks like only needs to look at you! You’re the
effulgence of His glory; the express image of His person, a partaker of His
life, and a dispenser of His love, righteousness, and grace.
Prayer Precious Father, I thank you for
expressing yourself to the world through me. I declare that Christ is alive in
me, dispensing His righteousness, love, grace, and mercy through me; and my
life is a veritable manifestation of your praise and glory, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
