       God doesn’t want anyone to have to go to Hell. But if you wont accept him, he has no choice but to separate you from his presence. After all, didn’t you take part in that choice? Please don’t turn away from Jesus today. Don’t worry. No matter who you are, no matter what your background is or what you have done in your life, you can come to him today. He will not reject you. If you would like to accept Jesus Christ today as your personal Lord and Savior, then follow my lead in this prayer: God, I am separated from you today. However, I would like to come into personal relationship with you starting now. I believe Jesus has paid from my sins on the cross, and that he will accept me. I believe he rose from the dead and is now with you in Heaven. I want to turn from my sin and start to following your way, which I now see as the correct way. Father, please change my life, and make me become a better person, like Jesus. In Jesus’ name we pray, Amen.

       Jesus offers eternal life—resurrection from the dead to life—to all who will believe in him, who will trust in his sacrifice on their behalf for the forgiveness of their sins. Life doesn’t end after we close our eyes and pass away here from the earth. Indeed, humans are eternal beings—and once created, they live forever somewhere. You can either remain in your current state, separated from God, or you can turn to God, believing in his provided salvation. God gives these things to people because he loves them. He loves everyone in the world, and is not willing that anyone should perish. He created each person as a unique, individual being. The way you are, the way you look and the personality that you have, all come from God himself. He has already displayed his power and love to you. But he wants to be able to fellowship with you on a day-to-day basis. But he cannot do that if you are separated from him. He wants to give you Heaven in the future—not Hell.

       The obedient will be rewarded with great things. Our gifts from God at the end of our lives can be much, as we seek to please him in this life. He will give us the desires of our hearts. And all of this is thanks to Jesus, thanks to what he did for us on our behalf. He bore all of our sins, and even today makes intercession for us. So, while we may struggle in this life with hardships and difficulties, God rewards us even today with Jesus’ help, as he prays on our behalf for our good. What a marvelous truth from God’s Word. Indeed, in conclusion today, Jesus doesn’t just want to help believers, but really he wants to help everyone in our world today. He wants people to come to him for the gift of life—true life. Jesus offers people a personal relationship with God. Jesus offers eternal life—resurrection from the dead to life—to all who will believe in him.

       So, many of us—since his resurrection—have been made righteous before God, declared righteous, since he died for our sins and provided an acceptable payment before God the Father. The final part of our text states, “Therefore I will divide him a portion with the many, and he shall divide the spoil with the strong, because he poured out his soul to death and was numbered with the transgressors; yet he bore the sin of many, and makes intercession for the transgressors” (Isaiah 53:12, ESV). In concluding our study of this text, we understand that God exalts Christ to be high and lifted up—and we know he will give him the position as King over Israel. And not only this, but we as believers will receive spoil, that is, good things with him from God. For those of us who are faithful, and even those of us who escape as though through fire, much will be given us. The obedient will be rewarded with great things. Our gifts from God at the end of our lives can be much, as we seek to please him in this life. He will give us the desires of our hearts.

Isaiah 53- We are Offspring of Jesus (TMF:511)

Peace to Live By: Isaiah 53- We are Offspring of Jesus (TMF:511) - Daniel Litton

       Continuing on, the passage states of Jesus, “when his soul makes an offering for guilt, he shall see his offspring; he shall prolong his days; the will of the Lord shall prosper in his hand. Out of the anguish of his soul he shall see and be satisfied; by his knowledge shall the righteous one, my servant, make many to be accounted righteous, and he shall bear their iniquities” (Isaiah 53:10, 11, ESV). All of us alive today who are Christians, and those in the past after Jesus’ resurrection who believed, are the offspring of Jesus. We have been raised with Christ, in the same way he was raised. We are his heirs, heirs of God and fellow heirs with Christ. Jesus was the first-born from the dead, the One who paved the way for all us to have life after we die. And, of course, we know that Christ will establish his kingdom here on the earth in the near future, which is for the Jewish people—those who have believed in him and for many who will believe in him. And Jesus, by all the he has accomplished on the cross, is satisfied at what yet is to come.
