Already Done


Much of Isaiah 53 is written in past tense. It's like it happened, before it happened. Isn't that amazing? Revelations refers to "the lamb slain before the foundation of the world". The plan was already performed in the realm of eternity.
Now there are three verses in Isaiah 53 where there is a shift in the tense. Neither, past or future, but remarkably, the ongoing present.
v3"He is despised and rejected of men..." Of a truth, He is.
V5"...with his stripes we are healed". The healing that his stripes made available is available still. V7"He is brought as a lamb to the slaughter". He is and always will be the one and only sacrifice for all.

  This chapter is a remarkable look at the realm of eternity. In it is past, present, and future all wrapped in one. It serves as testament of the eternal God- the almighty omniscient Spirit, who is Jehovah. What better hands to have your life in.
Warmest thoughts and prayers,
Chantel
