My Servant
Important Upside Down Thinking
Are you a heavenly upside-down thinker or an earth bound thinker? I ask because Christians are called to some remarkable heavenly thinking. For instance, Isaiah prophesied what seems to be some upside-down thoughts; that God the Father would allow His Son to become a servant who would suffer for our sake.
MY SERVANT will justify the many as He will bear their wrongdoings. Isaiah 53:11
What an upside-down thought – that Jesus would be a SERVANT who would take the punishment for our sins. We don’t think that way. We more commonly think that success, wealth, and prestige are indicators of God’s favor and will. But that’s not what Jesus modeled or said. Jesus became God’s SERVANT and died on the cross for our sins. What should be our response? What IS our response? Do we take our Heavenly Father and Jesus for granted? Or, do we daily purpose to SERVE them…wherever however they call us? It’s some pretty upside down thinking.
Lord Jesus Christ, God’s SERVANT, we bow in reverence and worship YOU! Thank You! Praise You! May we never forget how You gave Your life to redeem us. May we show our gratitude by serving You in whatever way You call us.

Important Upside Down Thinking
Are you a unique upside-down thinker or a common thinker? I ask because Christians are called to some pretty upside-down thinking. For instance, Isaiah prophesied what seems an upside-down thought; that God the Father would allow His Son to become a servant. Yet, it’s right here in Isaiah 53:11, “MY SERVANT, will justify the many, as He will bear their iniquities.” What an upside-down thought – that the Son would be a SERVANT who would take the punishment for our sins. We don’t think that way. We more commonly think that more success, more wealth, more prestige are indicators of God’s favor and will. But that’s not what Jesus modeled or said. Jesus became God’s SERVANT and died on the cross for our sins. What should be our response? What IS our response? Do we take our Heavenly Father and Jesus for granted? Or, do we daily purpose to SERVE them…wherever however they call us? It’s some pretty upside thinking to get our minds around.

Lord Jesus Christ, faithful SERVANT, we bow in humble reverence and worship YOU! Thank You! Praise You! May we never forget how You gave Your life to redeem us. May we show our gratitude by serving You in whatever way You call us.
Praise to MY SERVANT
“MY SERVANT, will justify the many, as He will bear their iniquities.”
Isaiah prophesied something we would never imagine: that holy God would allow His holy Son to become a SERVANT who would take our blame and punishment for sins. We don’t think that way. We more commonly think, “you get what you deserve. Be good. Receive good. Be bad. Take your punishment.” But Jesus became God’s SERVANT and died on the cross for our sins. What should be our response? What IS our response? Do we take our Heavenly Father and Jesus for granted? Or, do we daily purpose to glorify and serve them?
Lord Jesus Christ, God’s SERVANT, we bow in humble reverence and worship YOU! Thank You! Praise You! May we never ignore You, but rather show our gratitude by serving You.
MY SERVANT
“My Servant, will justify the many, as He will bear their iniquities.”
Isaiah 53:11
Isaiah prophesied what no man could imagine: that a holy God would allow His holy Son to take the blame and punishment for our sins. We don’t think that way. We think, “you get what you deserve. Be good. Receive good. Be bad. Take your punishment.” However, God allowed His Son to become His SERVANT and die on the cross for our sins. What should be our response? What IS our response? Are we shunning Him or glorifying Him in our daily lives?
Lord Jesus Christ, whom God the Father calls, MY SERVANT, I bow in humble reverence and worship YOU! Thank You! Praise You! May I never shun You, but rather show You my deepest gratitude.
