Bible Scripture Reading

"Greetings in the Name of Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ for 25 May 2012"

Today's Blog Title: "The Servant, Israel's Hope"
Today's Blog Scripture: Isaiah 50:1-11
Today's Blog Key Verse: Isaiah 50:10 "Who among you fears the LORD?  Who obeys the voice of His Servant?  Who walks in darkness, and has no light?  Let him trust in the name of the LORD, and rely upon God."

This Chapter begins with an emphasizes on the Lord's unbreakable commitment of marriage to His people Judah.  The question "Where is the bill of your mother's divorcement?" is rhetorical, and the implied answer is that there is done.  This should be viewed in contrast with Jeremiah 3:8, where the Lord states that He divorced Israel and threatens Judah with the same.

In spite of their sins, He never severed Himself from the Davidic line.  This Chapter also includes a prophecy of Christ's suffering.  "I gave my back to the smiters" is referred to in Matthew 27:26 in relation to the scourging that Christ received.  "My cheeks to them that plucked of the hair" refers to the plucking of His beard.  The reference to "spitting" is verified in Matthew 26:27.  The Servant is again seen as an individual suffering for the sins of the people.
