Rhapsody of Realities
We’re His Seed, Prolonging His Days
Saturday, August 30th
Pastor Chris
Yet it pleased the LORD to bruise him;
he hath put him to grief: when thou
shalt make his soul an offering for sin,
he shall see his seed, he shall prolong
his days, and the pleasure of the LORD
shall prosper in his hand (Isaiah 53:10).
The Holy Spirit, speaking through the
Prophet Isaiah, didn't only foretell of
the coming of the Messiah as an
offering for sin, but also that He shall
see His “seed,” who shall prolong His
days. The seed of Jesus is the Church.
So, through the Church, the Lord Jesus
prolongs His days. Jesus came into this
world, lived in this world, conquered
this world, died, was buried,
resurrected, and ascended to heaven.
But His life continues today through us.
We’re the ones living out His life
today. He’s living through everyone
that’s born again.
Isaiah 53:8 says, “…he was cut off out
of the land of the living: for the
transgression of my people was he
stricken.” But that’s not the end of it.
The world thought they were through
with Him, but then came you and I!
We’re the seed of Jesus Christ. When
you show up, Jesus shows up. We’re
continuing His works and prolonging His
days! When Jesus was raised from the
dead, God had you and me in mind.
We were raised together with Him.
And as He is, so are we today, in this
world (1John 4:17).
Acts 1:1 talks about, “…all that Jesus
began both to do and teach.” This
refers to His teachings about God’s
Kingdom and the accompanying mighty
works of miracles and healings. Reading
further into the book of Acts, you’ll find
that the Lord continued to teach and
do the same things through His
apostles whom He had chosen. They,
in turn, delivered the same message to
some others, until it finally got to us,
and it's still going on and will continue
until Jesus comes.
2 Corinthians 5:20 describes us as
ambassadors of Christ, and we're
indeed, His representatives on earth
today, teaching the same things He
taught and expressing His
righteousness to the world. Halleluiah!
PRAYER
Dear Heavenly Father, I’m so thankful
for the love and grace you’ve lavished
upon me. Thank you for expressing
yourself to the world through me.
Christ continually lives through me. I’m
the effulgence of His glory, the express
image of His person and my life is a
manifestation of the praise and glory of
God, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
Further Study: Galatians 2:20 I am
crucified with Christ: nevertheless I
live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me:
and the life which I now live in the
flesh I live by the faith of the Son of
God, who loved me, and gave himself
for me. ;
2 Corinthians 5:20 Now then we are
ambassadors for Christ, as though God
did beseech you by us: we pray you in
Christ’s stead, be ye reconciled to God.
