Gaze

to put the sermon into application, I took a longer time and more efforts to gaze into the Word today. i was on Isaiah 52-53.
i biblegateway-ed it and read the message version as well.

One look at him and people turned away.
We looked down on him, thought he was scum.
But the fact is, it was our pains he carried—
our disfigurements, all the things wrong with us.
We thought he brought it on himself,
that God was punishing him for his own failures.
But it was our sins that did that to him...
He took the punishment, and that made us whole.
Through his bruises we get healed.
We're all like sheep who've wandered off and gotten lost.
We've all done our own thing, gone our own way.
And God has piled all our sins, everything we've done wrong,
on him, on him.

the magnitude of His love, we cant understand at all. God has done everything. so what else can i do, but to live my life in Him, to acknowledge his presence and power in me, to walk by faith, to live life on the edge.
