       God, writing through Isaiah, wants us to grasp right off the bat the fact that Jesus acted wisely in his life. Indeed, Isaiah is speaking about future events that haven’t occurred yet. But to us today, obviously, they are past events. But Jesus acted wisely in that he followed and obeyed God’s will for his life. He did what was pleasing to the Father. And here comes the point where we need to take an evaluation of our own lives and ask ourselves if we indeed are being pleasing to God in our lives. Are we taking up our crosses daily and following him, or are we just coasting and getting by in life? And what was the end result of Jesus’ obedience to God. Well, God highly exalted him, giving him a name that is above every name. As a matter of fact, he sits at the right hand of God and this until all his enemies—those who don’t agree with him—are made a footstool for his feet.
