February 22: The Last Sunday After the Epiphany
Â
This Lord’s Day we’ll concentrate on Isaiah’s prophecy: “He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth.“
Jesus had every “right” when he was on the cross to point at us, open his mouth, and cry out, “Look what you’ve done to me, you shameful sinners!” But he didn’t; he opened not his mouth. This is because of his great love for us. He endured the cross, scorning its shame for the joy put before him. His people are part of that joy, thus, he opened not his mouth. You can enter into his joy in a Supper with him this Sunday.
The related hymns we’ll sing are:
All Hail the Power of Jesus’ Name!
It is Well with My Soul
To God be the Glory
