Behold God’s servant,
One whose subjection delights God;
Behold the Sufferer,
The subject of man’s scorn and God’s wrath;
Behold the Sovereign,
His train filling the temple.

I like how you are writing a verse for each Book of the Bible. Never seen that before. BTW, beautiful cover for your book, Vessel. Have you ever used CreateSpace? If I've asked before, I apologize.
ReplyDeleteAbout "Isaiah", you have Sufferer and Sovereign in caps. Is this Jesus? If so, is God's wrath regarding how he asked his Son to go to the cross? It's a nice, easy flowing poem. Beautiful imagery.
In Luke 24 : 27 the Lord beginning from Moses interpreted to His two wandering disciples in all the Scriptures the things concerning Himself. Thinking of this I have looked at the Old Testament and tried to draw out from each a little impression of Christ. Obviously there is infinitely more in any one of them!
ReplyDeleteYes, to your questions, and I have amended the Servant to a capital too. I was thinking of Isaiah 53 for the Sufferer, "Yet it pleased Jehovah to bruise him; he hath subjected him to suffering", verse 10. This looked on to the Lord Jesus, the Son of God suffering for us according to the will of God.
I'll have to look at CreateSpace. The photo on "Vessel" is sunset over the Moray Firth.
