SURELY, HE HATH


 


SURELY, HE HATH!

 

It is funny how you can get 3 words going over and over in your mind like pebbles in a rock tumbler.  Round and round they go intermingling with various other thoughts throughout the day.

 

SURELY, HE HATH!

 

The realization that it is about what Christ HAS ALREADY DONE, rather than what He is going to do finally becomes clearer as it continues to roll over and over, polishing and refining the words until they become smooth stones with which to take down your giant.

 

SURELY, HE HATH!

 

“SURELY, HE HATH borne our GRIEFS, and carried our SORROWS: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted.” (Isa53:4KJV)

 

“Borne”: - to carry away, ease, bear, help, pardon, take away

“GRIEFS”:- translated as: malady, anxiety, calamity…

…BUT MAINLY AS: sickness, or disease. “grief" only 4 times.

“SORROWS”: - anguish or affliction:- grief, PAIN, sorrow

 

Mtt8:17KJV “That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the prophet, saying, Himself TOOK our infirmities” (feebleness, malady, sickness), and bare our sicknesses (malady, disease, infirmity)

 

SURELY, HE HATH!

 

Our Father struck Christ with ALL of our SICKNESS and DISEASE … HE afflicted Him with our PAIN…and Christ TOOK IT.  (Isa53:4)

 

SURELY, HE HATH!

 

The word “TOOK" is translated from a Hebrew word intended to paint a mural in one's mind of backdrop, scenery, and action.  It depicts a man getting a firm hold on a painful burden, bearing it up, rising to his feet, and walking away with it… removing it from that place.

 

Christ TOOK our pain… our sickness… our disease… our frailty… our weakness…

…all that held us captive…

…put it upon His back

…and walked away with it.  

 

SURELY, HE HATH!

 

It is not something He is going to do…

…He already did it! 

 

We don’t have to convince Him we need a healing…

…He already TOOK it – bore it – so we wouldn’t have to. 

…He TOOK it in our place and our behalf…

…and it pleased our Father to put it on Christ for us. (Isa53:10)

 

We don’t have to beg for it… we have it… it is already ours!

 

Why else would He say,

“IT IS FINISHED”?

 

SURELY, HE HATH!

LET YOUR FRUIT SPEAK

Image
LET YOUR FRUIT SPEAK?     People say, , “God told me”…  or “Holy Spirit directed me…”or… “this business belongs to Jesus, He tells me what to do!”     WHY?     Why do they preface THEIR works with such statements?     Isn’t it a ruse of the enemy to keep them unapproachable, uncorrectable, and continuing their own way without interference? … ITS INTENT: prevent ANYONE from speaking into them or the situation… After all… “who are YOU to contradict what God has said?”     “Every tree is known by his own fruit.” (Lk6:44) “…by their fruits you shall know them.” (Mtt7:20)   An apple tree does not have to tell you it is one… it just bears apples! …a cherry tree bears cherries.    You can tell a Dogwood Tree by its “Bark”… well… maybe that doesn’t fit the analogy.     If I have to tell you I am a certain type of tree, it is probably because there is NO FRUIT to make identification easy.     “He that speak...

FORMING YOUR WORLD

  Forming Your World     Have you been in a place in life where you feel like your world has no form, reason, nor rationale to it… like it is void of meaning or direction… and it seems like the darkness is so deep and thick that you not only can't see, but are so disoriented you have no clue as to which way is up?     How do you get out of THAT?     Gen1:1-2 describes just that scenario, but on a grand universal scale: “In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. The earth was without form, and void; and darkness was on the face of the deep.”     The rest of verse 2 begins to show the hope in the midst of the vast void…                   “…And the Spirit of God MOVED UPON the face of the waters.”             “MOVED UPON” is from a primitive Hebrew root word meaning: to brood: to hover, flutte...

CONVICTION

Image
  CONVICTION   I have frequently heard the phrase, “the Holy Spirit CONVICTED me”… or… “I was CONVICTED by the Lord”.  As a young boy I was taught that God was this big eye in the sky continually watching to see if I was being good… and the Holy Spirit, being on my shoulder, would  speak in my ear to bring that guilt… shaming me back to the right path.the moment I stepped out of line   But… why did Jesus send the Holy Spirit to us?     In  Jn16:7 Christ calls the Holy Spirit “ THE COMFORTER ”. He uses the term, “ parakletos ”, which was used in NT times of an  attorney (lawyer)… someone  giving evidence that stands up in court .   It comes from two words: “ para ” (close-beside), and “ kaleo ” (make a call). The word properly means: a legal advocate, advisor, or alongside helper who makes the right judgment- call  because  close  enough to the situation.       Zech3 clearly portrays a courtroom drama u...
