Christian Homemaker

He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not.

Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted.

But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.

Isaiah 53:3-5

For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus.

.

When we see the nail-scarred hands of Jesus, we see how He has inscribed us on the palms of his hands. In the midst of crisis we tend to feel forgotten, so he gave a great assurance to his people.

"Can a woman forget her nursing child? Surely they may forget, yet I will not forget you. See, I have inscribed you on the palms of my hands."

Isaiah 48:15-18

.

Blessed is the man that trusteth in the LORD, and whose hope the LORD is.

For he shall be as a tree planted by the waters, and that spreadeth out her roots by the river, and shall not see when heat cometh, but her leaf shall be green; and shall not be careful in the year of drought, neither shall cease from yielding fruit.

Jeremiah 17:7-8
