Weekly Challenge -Isaiah 52:13-53:3

This passage of scripture is an amazing summary of the grace that is the good news of the gospel:

In this passage we are shown just how unfathomable God's ways are to us.  He warns us that we must pay close attention if we are to fully "see" Christ because He is not going to be or do the things that we expect. 

This week my challenge is to really seek Jesus Christ - investigate what he looks, speaks and acts like.  Intimately comb the word to find the real Him!

Be intentional.

Weekly Challenge -Isaiah 48:17-22

In this section of scripture God says several things to us:

1.  He reminds us of who He is.

2.  He reminds us that His ways are not only good but also good for us.

3.  He makes a promise to us of what will happen if we listen to Him.

4.  He tells us to be free from captivity even when we can't live up to our end of the deal and to proclaim the greatness of Christ and the freedom He provides.

5.  Finally He reminds us that we can not do this on our own and that to be truly free we must hand over whatever is holding us captive to Him and return to His arms.

My challenge to all of us this week is to meditate on whatever has or is holding us captive.  Put a name to it, put it at the foot of the cross and then live fully in the freedom that Christ has bought for us.

Be intentional.
