We Should Desire - Isaiah 53:2

Isaiah 53:2 ESV 

For he grew up before him like a young plant,
and like a root out of dry ground;
he had no form or majesty that we should look at him,
and no beauty that we should desire him.

The word fell into the dry ground of a vineyard which did not produce the fruit God was looking for. Israel was the vineyard of the Lord, a vine that would show the way to the true vine of the Lord Jesus Christ. 

From the root of Jessie would spring a tender plant, a shoot of the divine rising from the earth of man. 

He would not appeal to our senses, but to our spirits. He manifested the seed from the tree of life. He is the fulfillment of our desire.
