| My Servant Shall Not Strive |
|
D: Are your eyes on the big picture?
V: My eyes aren¡¯t even open yet. What do you mean?
D: Well, today¡¯s Power for Today author says that we need to have ¡°our eyes on the big picture¡± (or look at the total view of life).
V: Why does he say that?
D: He says this because we need to know that our suffering in life is only temporary. God will ¡°eventually¡± (or finally) make all things right.
V: To ¡°make all things right¡± means that the Lord will fix every thing.
D: Exactly. I believe that Jesus knew this too when He was on the earth.
V: Right. The author talks about the predictions of Jesus made by the prophet Isaiah.
D: Yes, Isaiah said that when Jesus comes he will not break a ¡°bruised¡± (or injured) reed.
V: A ¡°reed¡± is a tall piece of grass. Isaiah also says that Jesus will not ¡°quench the spark in a piece of flax.¡± What does this mean?
D: ¡±Flax¡± is also a plant that is sometimes used for making the end of a candle. So Jesus will not ¡°quench the spark¡± (or put out the tiny flame) of a candle.
V: Oh, I see. So when the Bible says that Jesus went as a ¡°sheep to the slaughter¡± it means that Jesus did not resist his enemies, but went willingly, just like a sheep being taken to a place to be ¡°slaughtered¡± (or killed).
D: You got it. I think that Jesus could do this because He could see the big picture.
V: Well, let¡¯s get our eyes open and look for the big picture today.
D: And have a good one.
V: You too. |
