A Special Present

I returned home yesterday after being gone from the family for about 10 days and 14 of the last 20.  Returning home is one of the most enjoyable things.  The kids came running out almost tackling me and my beautiful wife had a big smile on her face.

The kids had made presents while I was gone and handed me all their colored pictures and wooden crafts (thanks Ryan family).  One of the most special treats was listening to them share what they had memorized from my favorite passage of my favorite book in the Bible.  Even Athanasius had memorized the first 2 verses of it.  What passage would that be?  Here it is:

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.

3 He was despised and rejected by mankind,
a man of suffering, and familiar with pain.
Like one from whom people hide their faces
He was despised, and we esteemed him not.

4 Surely he took up our pain
and bore our suffering,
yet we considered him punished by God,
stricken by him, and afflicted.

5 But he was pierced for our transgressions,
he was crushed for our iniquities;
the punishment that brought us peace was on him,
and by his wounds we are healed.

6 We all, like sheep, have gone astray,
each of us has turned to our own way;
and the LORD has laid on him
the iniquity of us all.

7 He was oppressed and afflicted,
yet he did not open his mouth;
he was led like a lamb to the slaughter,
and as a sheep before its shearers is silent,
so he did not open his mouth.

8 By oppression and judgment he was taken away.
Yet who of his generation protested?
For he was cut off from the land of the living;
for the transgression of my people he was punished.

9 He was assigned a grave with the wicked,
and with the rich in his death, purchase prednisone
though he had done no violence,
nor was any deceit in his mouth.

10 Yet it was the LORD’s will to crush him
and cause him to suffer,
and though the LORD makes his life an offering for sin,
he will see his offspring and prolong his days,
and the will of the LORD will prosper in his hand.

11 After he has suffered,
he will see the light of life and be satisfied;
by his knowledge my righteous servant will justify many,
and he will bear their iniquities.

12 Therefore I will give him a portion among the great,
and he will divide the spoils with the strong,
because he poured out his life unto death, purchase Prozac
and was numbered with the transgressors.
For he bore the sin of many,
and made intercession for the transgressors. ( cheap Zoloft Isaiah 53)
