God Calling Daily Devotional December 4 Man of Sorrows "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." Isaiah 53:3 That these words strike a note of Beauty in the hearts of those attuned to hear the Beautiful, shows truly that the heart recognizes the need for the Man of Sorrows. That it sees nothing contemptible in One despised by the world. One of the things My disciples must ever seek to do is to set aside the valuation of the world, and judge only according to the values of Heaven. Do not seek the praise and the notice of men. You follow a despised Christ. See the mob is hooting, throwing stones, jeering, and yet in that quiet little throng there is a happiness and Joy the reviling crowds could never know. In your dark hours, when human help fails, keep very close to the Man of Sorrows. Feel My Hand of Love press yours in silent but complete understanding. I, too, was acquainted with grief. No heart can ache without My heart aching too. "He was despised, and we esteemed Him not." "Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world....For all that is in the world,...is not of the Father, but is of the world." 1 John 2:15-16 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Show God Calling on your website from Advent Digital |

Thank you for those words. That is one of my favorite songs....Man of Sorrows, What a Name! For the Son of God who came. Ruined sinners to reclaim. Hallelujah, What a Savior! |

I love the fact that Isaiah had foreknowledge of Christ and gave me this humble image of our Lord. It taught me to quit looking on the outside appearance of people. What a lovely song. I really don't think I know it. |

Here's the whole song written by P.P. Bliss Man of Sorrows! what a name For the Son of God, Who came Ruined sinners to reclaim. Hallelujah! What a Savior! Bearing shame and scoffing rude, In my place condemned He stood; Sealed my pardon with His blood. Hallelujah! What a Savior! Guilty, vile, and helpless we; Spotless Lamb of God was He; “Full atonement!” can it be? Hallelujah! What a Savior! Lifted up was He to die; “It is finished!” was His cry; Now in Heav’n exalted high. Hallelujah! What a Savior! When He comes, our glorious King, All His ransomed home to bring, Then anew His song we’ll sing: Hallelujah! What a Savior! |
