‘The Inhabitants Of Loftiness.’
Isaiah 26:5.
a) They were:-
1- Proud.
2- Wealthy.
3- Fortified.
4- Magnificent.
b) God will level their building into the ground
c) God will throw it into the dust.
(This QT teaches me what happens to The
Inhabitants Of Loftiness)
‘Thank You Lord Jesus For Going To The
Cross.’
Isaiah 53:2-5.
a) Isaiah 53:2. Jesus at the Cross had no form or
majesty that would “make Him look desirable.
b) Isaiah 53:3. Jesus was despised and rejected
by people – a man of sorrows.
c) Isaiah 53:4. He took our suffering and sorrows
to the Cross. We thought that God had:-
1- Wounded
Him.
2- Beat
Him.
3- Punished
Him.
d) Isaiah 53:5. Jesus was:-
1- Wounded
for our transgressions.
2- Crushed
for our sins
3- Punished
so that we could have Peace.
4- Suffering
the stripes of beating so that we can be healed.
(This Second one makes me exclaim: Thank You Lord Jesus For
Going To The Cross)
Chris.
It
is never good to be lofty or to dwell in loftiness. Surely those people who
call themselves “Christians” who dwell in loftiness will be brought low and
brought down. Both Old and New Testaments exhort us to be humble in front of
God.
