Isaiah 53:1 ESV
Who has believed what he has heard from us?
And to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?
What are we looking for and what if it doesn't look like that? This has always been a problem for man. In the Garden, Adam had everything he would be looking for once he was expelled from the presence of God. The forbidden fruit had visual appeal, but it wasn't what he thought it would be, in fact the very opposite.
In the end, most of us don't know what we are looking for. It takes God to show us. Our eyes can look in many directions without finding or seeing God. When He makes Himself known, we cannot look in any direction without seeing God. Same eyes, different heart.
The arm of God has been revealed to us in the form of the Son of Man in the flesh. He brings news that's unbelievable, yet asks us to believe. He gives us a gift beyond measure, yet we are to count our blessings.
Listen to what the Spirit is saying to the churches.
He says I will give. It's what we are looking for.
