Isaiah 53
1(A) Who has believed what he has heard from us?[a]
And to whom has(B) the arm of the LORD been revealed?
2For he grew up before him like a young plant (C) and like a root out of dry ground;
(D) he had no form or majesty that we should look at him,
and no beauty that we should desire him.
3(E) 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(F) we esteemed him not.

4(G) Surely he has borne our griefs
and carried our sorrows;
yet we esteemed him stricken,
(H) smitten by God, and afflicted.
5(I) But he was wounded for our transgressions;
he was crushed for our iniquities;
upon him was the chastisement that brought us peace,
(J) and with his stripes we are healed.
6(K) All we like sheep have gone astray;
we have turned—every one—to his own way;
(L) and the LORD has laid on him
the iniquity of us all.

Verses 5-6 are some of my favorite in the bible. What a perfect explanation of easter and what it means. To think that he suffered and died for all of us. It wasnt just for the sin that had happened but also for the sin that we were later to commit. We are all guilty for hanging Him on that cross. We are all in need of His peace. Just to think of all of the suffering Levi has gone through so far doesnt compare. Sure he will have scars to remember it. Jesus actually remembers every lash and every nail. That makes everything else seem so trivial. We need to wake up!
Levi is recovering well. It was a nerve racking day today as they took him off of the vent. He has had much trouble in the past coming off. This time he really did great. He amazes me every day as I watch him grow and see how tough he has become. Thank God for seeing him through to this point. Right now he is resting comfortably and is on the nasal cannula not the cpap! Please pray though because every day is a new struggle.
God is so good to us ,even though Jesus die for us, God our Father new his son and what it was to come. So for us too live he had to die for us.Every test Levi has gone through ,it shoes me just how hard it has for Jesus had to go through for us.In that, I am saying this Little baby has gone through so much not for us.But the Lord new how hard and how much pain it was to be,to exercise our faith.He new we would work hard to see him through.And still will do for him and others.I dont want this to happen again,But we all know that the ones that was involved just how powerful Gods words is, in to action.So at this point I say that God is and always will be Almighty.Magnify,and his Son Jesus is King of all Kings and we shall lift him up and Glorify him.Jesus is where we run to and we are safe from the enemies of this world. Without our Lord we lose before we even get started.Thank you Dear Lord for your healing power for us and all that ask.....AMEN
