Daily Readings for Reflection

Reflection: Silent or Written

Prayers: For the World, for Others, for Myself

Offering of Self to GodO God, may we join with the never-ending chorus that sings, “Holy, holy, holy is the Lord,” in both our words and deeds this day. Amen.

BlessingMay those who praise God, share God’s peace. Amen.

Readings for Reflection❧ Conversion is a journey. The Christian is saved and is being saved. Just as the child is not fully mature, so the Christian is not fully mature at the time of “birth” in Christ. As the Christian grows, the Spirit reveals attitudes and behaviors that frustrate the search for wholeness. For this reason the Christian will be aware of the conflict between resistance and acceptance of the will of God, between darkness and light.

As we grow in Christ, we will develop sensibilities that detect the slightest imperfection in desire or deed grievous to the Spirit. This growth process is experi-enced as an interior struggle between the kingdom of God and the kingdom of darkness (Rom. 7:14-25). It is important in the struggle to experience God’s uncon-ditional love as freedom (Rom. 8:1-14).— Norman Shawchuck, Rueben P. Job, and Robert G.

Doherty, How to Conduct a Spiritual Life Retreat

❧ Consider for a moment what, in practice, the word adoration implies. The upward and outward look of humble and joyful admiration. Awestruck delight in the splendor and beauty of God, the action of God and Being of God, in and for God’s self alone, as the very

Season after EpiphanySunday between February 18 and February 24(If this is the last Sunday after Epiphany, use Week 15.)

13. AdorationAffirmationHoly God, you are worthy of praise because of your faithfulness to us. May we never cease to adore you.

Psalm: 100

Psalm PrayerO God, you are indeed good. Therefore we desire to constantly make a joyful noise in your presence. Give us peace to know that in stillness you are present, and in chaos you are also with us. You are faithful to all generations, and you remember your people. For this we praise you. Amen.

GENESIS 10:11 25The Suffering ServanT

W h o i s t h i s m y s t e r i o u s f i g u r e ?

I saiah’s four songs about a “suffering servant” are among the richest and most closely studied pas-

sages in the Old Testament (see Isa 42:1–9; 49:1–13; 50:4–9; 52:13— 53:12). This chapter illustrates

why the servant songs sparked fierce debates among the rabbis seeking to understand

them. The first part stirs anticipation for a glorious time when God will restore the

holy city and people will shout to Jerusalem, “Your God reigns!” (Isa 52:7). It looks as

if Israel will gain revenge on its enemies at last.But the author goes on to explain how God will redeem Jerusalem by introduc-

ing the mysterious figure of the suffering servant, whose appearance is “disfigured

beyond that of any human being” (Isa 52:14). Who is this suffering servant? And how

will such a weakened person achieve a great victory, even bringing light to all nations?

Jewish scholars puzzled over these passages for centuries. Many considered them the most signifi-

cant part of the entire Hebrew Scriptures, yet they could not agree on exactly what the prophet meant.

A Nation or a Person?Sometimes the verses speak of the servant as the nation of Israel as a whole: “You are my servant,

Israel, in whom I will display my splendor” (Isa 49:3). In other places, the servant seems to refer to a

specific individual, a great leader who suffers terribly.Isaiah presents the servant as the deliverer of all humankind. Yet it portrays him as more of a tragic

figure than a hero: “He was oppressed and afflicted, yet he did not open his mouth; he was led like a

lamb to the slaughter” (Isa 53:7).An Answer From the New TestamentThe idea of the suffering servant did not really catch on in the Jewish nation. They longed for a victo-

rious Messiah, not a suffering one. The image of the suffering servant went underground, as it were,

lying dormant for centuries.In a very dramatic scene early in his ministry, Jesus quoted from one of the servant passages in

Isaiah: “Then he rolled up the scroll, gave it back to the attendant and sat down. The eyes of everyone

in the synagogue were fastened on him. He began by saying to them, ‘Today this scripture is fulfilled

in your hearing’ ” (Lk 4:20–21).At last, a link snapped into place for some, but not for all, of Jesus’ listeners. The Messiah had come

at last— not as a conquering general, but as a carpenter’s son from Nazareth. Life Questions

If you had been a Jew in Jesus’ day, would you have been disappointed in the Messiah?

Why did Jesus choose to come as a suffering servant rather than as, perhaps, a triumphant army

general? ¦SB¦

The statement is only half true. Their eyes were opened, to

be sure (see v. 7), but the result was quite different from what

the serpent had promised. knowing good and evil. See note

The Only Full-Color NKJV Study Bible!

Author and Date

Exodus (meaning exit) was probably written by Moses, like the rest of the Pentateuch. There is no agreement among scholars as to the date when the events of the exodus took place. A common view is that the exodus occurred in c. 1446 b.c., though some scholars believe it took place around 1260 b.c.

The Gospel in Exodus

Exodus offers the greatest paradigmatic redemption event in the Bible prior to Christ’s incarnation. As such, it is profoundly Good News to cap-tives, to those who labor in bondage to sin and misery. In addition, it shapes Christians’ continued understanding of and hope for redemption. In the redemption gained through the life, death, burial, resurrection, ascen-sion, and continued ministry of Jesus, we have a new exodus, a fulfillment of what Exodus pictured for the people of God.

Exodus tells us that redemption begins with God remembering his cov-enant promises offered in Genesis: the promise of the death blow to our ancient enemy through the offspring of the woman (Gen. 3:15); the promise to Abraham of an offspring through whom all the families of the earth will be blessed (Gen. 12:1–3); and the promise that Abraham’s off-spring will be in captivity for a time, but will return to the Promised Land (Gen. 15:13–14). Exodus opens with God remembering his covenant with Abraham (Ex. 2:23–25) and coming down to redeem his people through his chosen mediator, Moses (chs. 3–4).

Through Moses, God goes forward to redeem his people “out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery” (20:2). Central to this redemption is judgment and salvation: judgment on the gods of Egypt and especially on their representative, Pharaoh, through the plagues; salvation amid the death of the firstborn of Egypt, of both humans and beasts, through the substitutionary death of spotless lambs for Israel (chs. 7–13). In the final contest between God and Pharaoh, God as the true King of the world crushes his enemy in the floods of the Red Sea and delivers his people through the waters of salvation. No wonder Moses’ song ends, “The Lord will reign forever and ever” (15:18).

Having redeemed his people, God then guides them through the wilder-ness and brings them to Mount Sinai to instruct them in his ways. That is always the order of the Bible: redemption, then response; grace, then law. However, the Mosaic covenant could not deliver people from their sins; it was not meant to do so—rather, it served to point beyond itself to One who would come to fulfill all the foreshadowings in the tabernacle and all the requirements of the law’s “rules” (21:1).

26:6 j ch. 2:11; 5:4, 5; 6:6, 7; Ps. 81:6 k [2 Chr. 16:4] l [ch. 12:37; Gen. 47:11]

13 m See ch. 5:7-19 14 n [ch. 2:23; 6:9; Num. 20:15;

Acts 7:19, 34] 17 o Prov. 16:6; [Dan. 3:16-18;

6:13; Acts 5:29]

1:1–7 The sons of Israel are listed in the same order here as in Genesis 35:23–26; only Joseph is excepted because he was already in Egypt. This list recalls the connec-tions between Genesis and Exodus: specifically, Genesis 46:1–4, where God directs Jacob/Israel to go to Egypt. God promises to make Israel a great nation, but more, he promises, “I myself will go down with you to Egypt, and I will also bring you up again” (Gen. 46:4). Israel’s God is not localized to Palestine; his reach extends to Egypt as well. We must remember that we serve the God to whom the earth belongs; his reach extends to the nations; and he will gain their service for his praise (Ps. 24:1; 67:4).

1:13–14 Where was God in all of his people’s suffering? Here is God’s mysterious wisdom at work. He had told Abraham that his posterity would be “sojourners in a land that is not theirs and will be servants there, and they will be afflicted for four hundred years” (Gen. 15:13). And yet, the suffering of God’s people would be used to bring judgment upon Egypt and blessing to Israel (Gen. 15:14). Even so, our sufferings work together for God’s salvation purposes because they are part of his eternal plan.

1:15–21 God’s blessing of the midwives was not due to their apparent shading of the truth. Rather, he blessed them because they feared God more than Pharaoh (1:21; cf. Acts 4:19). They did not follow the command to kill the sons; rather, they allowed them to live. The ironic result is that Israel continued to multiply. God’s gracious blessing continued to be with his people despite the horrific circumstances they encountered.

Israel Increases Greatly in Egypt

1 a

These are the names of the sons of Israel who came to Egypt with Jacob, each with

his household: 2 Reuben, Simeon, Levi, and Judah, 3 Issachar, Zebulun, and Benjamin, 4 Dan and Naphtali, Gad and Asher. 5 All the descendants of Jacob were b seventy persons; Joseph was already in Egypt. 6 Then c Joseph died, and all his brothers and all that genera-tion. 7

d But the people of Israel were fruitful

and increased greatly; they multiplied and grew exceedingly strong, so that the land was filled with them.

Pharaoh Oppresses Israel8 Now there arose a new king over Egypt,

e who did not know Joseph. 9 And he said to his

people, “Behold, f the people of Israel are too many and too mighty for us. 10

g Come, h let us

deal shrewdly with them, lest they multiply, and, if war breaks out, they join our enemies and fight against us and escape from the land.” 11 Therefore they set taskmasters over them i to afflict them with heavy j burdens. They built

for Pharaoh k store cities, Pithom and l Raamses. 12 But the more they were oppressed, the more they multiplied and the more they spread abroad. And the Egyptians were in dread of the people of Israel. 13 So they ruthlessly made the people of Israel m work as slaves 14 and n

made their lives bitter with hard service, in mortar and brick, and in all kinds of work in the field. In all their work they ruthlessly made them work as slaves.

15 Then the king of Egypt said to the Hebrew midwives, one of whom was named Shiphrah and the other Puah, 16 “When you serve as mid-wife to the Hebrew women and see them on the birthstool, if it is a son, you shall kill him, but if it is a daughter, she shall live.” 17 But the midwives o feared God and did not do as the king of Egypt commanded them, but let the male children live. 18 So the king of Egypt called the midwives and said to them, “Why have you done this, and let the male chil-dren live?” 19 The midwives said to Pharaoh, “Because the Hebrew women are not like the Egyptian women, for they are vigorous and
