Text: Isaiah 53:1-6While people look for someone to lead them, only Jesus can guide us because He is light Himself. Darkness is the first thing that God overcame in the original creation and darkness is flooded with light through the new creation. Unfortunately, those who don’t know the light often lash out at the Lord who alone illuminates the world.

Text: 1 Peter 2: 1-3The Christian walk is synonymous with innocent suffering and pain, through which Christ our Lord suffered and died. He left us all an example of how to follow him in this. A Christian’s call to this behavior goes against the grain of his human tendencies: to suffer unjust treatment without retaliation, trusting only that God would be the judge of things ultimately. Jesus lived the sacrificial life to which he calls all his believers. It is a life that leads to the cross, and he has modeled how to live this sacrificial life for us. When we suffer unjustly, we share in a tiny portion of what happened to him. When we are mistreated, we are to turn the other check, bless those who curse us, and return good for evil. We are not to retaliate, not to threaten, not to get even. Jesus showed us how to live, and he showed us how to die. This response is a miracle in itself and is under girded and made possible only by the gift of grace from God.
