Isaiah 53:1-2 NIV
[1] Who has believed our message and to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed? [2] He grew up before him like a tender shoot, and like a root out of dry ground. He had no beauty or majesty to attract us to him, nothing in his appearance that we should desire him.
Once again this image has came to me. A root out of dry ground.
The other day when I was out a walk with Emilia she didn't like a tree because it's roots were showing. I had written a blog about it here.
But reading this scripture what stood out was "He had no beauty or majesty to attract us to him, nothing in his appearance that we should desire him."
Even though it's roots were showing it was still a beautiful tree to me. It's funny how people judge things without getting to know how it was like that. I searched to see why it's roots were like that and found is was because of its environment. It wasn't getting oxygen to grow so some of the roots came to the surface to help the tree grow.
People looked at jesus like this. They were waiting on the wrong kind of king.
