Isaiah 49-53
I suppose one of the more interesting aspects of the chosen Messiah is His lack of good looks, comely physical appearance. We often follow the "pretty" people, those who are appealing to the eye. However, the prophet tells us that if we are drawn to the Messiah it will be for something more than the external. Isn't that really the crux of the matter? Many are still looking for the material, physical aspects of a kingdom. But, Jesus said that His worshippers would not be concerned about the physical. Rather, the Lord's followers will be those who worship in spirit and truth. His kingdom is an eternal kingdom, placed in heavenly realms, by our God, who is spirit. Thus, rather than looking to the outward, we should be looking inward, matching our spirit with His.
