Look At My Servant -The Easter Person

Isaiah 42 and Matthew 12:18 call us to look to the Son, who is also the Servant of the Lord. Sometimes our perspective gets out of focus, we become selfish, we look at others and make comparisons and become full of despair, we look at the world and the mess of humanity and become discouraged or even afraid. The Word tells us to look at the Son. To focus our attention upon the One, crucified and raised to life.

The Father delights in the Son and calls us to do the same. At the heart of salvation, of having peace with God and the peace of God, is delighting in the Son, looking to the Son. The Word says every knee will bow and tongue confess that Jesus is Lord. That every eye will see him or look at him, even those who pierced Christ.

God the Father will get mankind's attention with the Son sooner or later. The salvation choice, the life giving choice is to look to the Son today. To acknowledge our need of the Savior today and walk each day with our attention upon the Son. Easter is about the Person, Jesus Christ who was declared with power to be the Son of God through the resurrection from the dead. Look and live!
