📜 TODAY'S SCRIPTURE: Isaiah 40:10-11 | Isaiah 53:3-5
10 Behold, the Lord God comes with might,
and his arm rules for him;
behold, his reward is with him,
and his recompense before him.
11 He will tend his flock like a shepherd;
he will gather the lambs in his arms;
he will carry them in his bosom,
and gently lead those that are with young.
3 He was despised and rejected[b] by men,
a man of sorrows[c] and acquainted with[d] grief;[e]
and as one from whom men hide their faces[f]
he was despised, and we esteemed him not.
4 Surely he has borne our griefs
and carried our sorrows;
yet we esteemed him stricken,
smitten by God, and afflicted.
5 But he was pierced for our transgressions;
he was crushed for our iniquities;
upon him was the chastisement that brought us peace,
and with his wounds we are healed.

| 0:36.6 | things and it's fun. |
| 0:37.6 | It really is. |
| 0:38.6 | It's a delightful thing to celebrate the holiday season with all these practices and decorations and rituals. |
| 0:44.8 | But we can often forget the very reason we're doing it all. And that is Jesus |
| 0:51.2 | himself. |
| 0:52.6 | God came into this world as a baby boy. |
| 0:57.0 | It's an incredible thing once you stop to really ponder |
| 1:01.3 | the miracle that it is. |
| 1:03.3 | And in the last few days, we looked at Isaiah chapter 40 |
| 1:05.8 | and the prophecies that came to tell the people of Israel |
| 1:09.9 | that God was sending His Messiah. |
| 1:13.0 | And I want to continue reading in the Isaiah 40, chapter 10, |
| 1:17.0 | to get a perspective of what God intended this to mean to his people. |
| 1:22.0 | He says, behold, the Lord God comes with might and his arm rules for |
| 1:28.8 | him. Behold, his reward is with him and his recompense before him. |
| 1:34.4 | He will tend his flock like a shepherd. |
