Wednesday, September 10: The Servant King
Day 3: The Servant King
Reading: Isaiah 53:4-6
Matthew connects Jesus' healing ministry with Isaiah's prophecy of the suffering servant. This reminds us that Jesus' authority is intrinsically linked to His sacrificial love. He didn't just command from afar - He entered into our suffering, took it upon Himself, and conquered it through the cross. This is the heart of the gospel - that the King became a servant to save us. As you reflect on this today, consider how this truth changes your perspective on your own suffering. How does knowing that Jesus bore your griefs and carried your sorrows impact your approach to life's challenges?
