Thinking of Jesus…

he was brought as a lamb to the slaughter

Before I Wake #2

…He was brought as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearer is dumb, so he opened not his mouth. Isaiah 53 verse 7

In willing obedience and perfect submission, he finished the work that the Father gave him to do.

Though he were a Son, yet learned he obedience by the things which he suffered. Hebrews 5 verse 8.

We Contemplate Thee: Remembrance of Jesus

Yet To Be 253

We think of Him, who in willing obedience to the Father came to earth to die.

The Son of God who was there in eternity past left it all for us that we might be enriched.

Made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, ( he emptied himself), and was made in the likeness of men:

And being found in fashion as a man, ( his own creation), he humbled Himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.

It does not end here…

But we see Jesus who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honour; that he by the grace of God should taste death for every man.
