THERE'S A REVELATION OF A PATTERNED LIFE LUCKED IN THE PROPHETIC WRITINGS OF PROPHET ISAIAH THAT TAKES US ON A SPIRITUAL JOURNEY OF DISCOVERY AND BECOMING WHAT THE FATHER ORDAINED FOR US IN OUR ASSIGNED MINISTRY OF REPRESENTATION. AS WE CONTINUE TO TRACK THE MINDS OF THE LORD IN THE CELEBRATION OF EASTER, WE SEE THE DIVINE ORDER OF OUR MOVEMENT TOWARDS THE PLACE OF EXPERIENCING THE RESURRECTED LIFE IN CHRIST. THIS EASTER IS NOT LIKE PREVIOUS EASTER'S WE'VE CELEBRATED FOR SEVERAL CLEAR REASONS. 

THE RESURRECTED LIFE IS WHAT WE NEED TO STAND AND DEFEND OUR APOSTOLIC ASSIGNMENT IN THIS ERA OF INCREASED HOSTILITY TO THE PEOPLE OF THE WAY. THE RESURRECTED LIFE OF CHRIST EMENATES FROM A DEEP PLACE OF SPIRITUAL CONVICTION AND TRANSFORMATION. TO ENTER THE ART OF LIVING VIA THE POWER OF THE CROSS REQUIRES THAT WE PASS THROUGH THE PLACE CALLED GETHSEMANE.  

 ITS TIME WE SEAT AND REEXAMINE THE REVELATORY LIFE PROPHET ISAIAH LAID DOWN FOR US ACCORDING TO CHAPTER 53 OF THE BOOK OF ISAIAH EVEN IN THIS SEASON OF THE INCREASE OF A WATERED-DOWN NARRATIVE OF THE KINGDOM GOSPEL PARTICULARLY IN THE ARENA OF THE MESSAGE OF THE RESURRECTION OF JESUS CHRIST.

ISAIAH 53

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 the 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 held him in low esteem. 

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, 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 c 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 d and be satisfied; by his knowledge f 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, and was numbered with the transgressors. For he bore the sin of many and made intercession for the transgressors.
