God took the initiative in sending Christ to be born of the virgin Mary. He did not wait for a Deliverer to arise from us, He came to us in the person of Jesus.
Jesus suffered, and he is called a man of sorrows. What a comfort it is to know that the Lord himself understands what it means to feel sadness and pain, and that He is with us in our sorrow.
In Isaiah’s day, the people had started to treat the worship of God in a very casual way. But God does not want rote worship, rather, He wants our whole heart.
One of the greatest problems with the natural man is that his heart is like a stone toward God. But, thankfully, Jesus is able to take out our hearts of stone and give us hearts of flesh through the Holy Spirit!
