The preacher sat behind the pulpit, waiting. One of the congregation members was reading the Old Testament passage.
“For he grew up before him like a young plant, and like a root out of dry ground;”
The preacher sat and looked at the little piece of cardboard, stuck to the back of the pulpit by his predecessor.
Sir, we would see Jesus.
“He was despised and rejected by men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief;”
The preacher gripped his own bible, sermon inside, and closed his eyes.
“.. upon him was the chastisement that brought us peace,”
Sir, we would see Jesus.
The preacher gripped harder as memories of past sins reared up.
“.. and the LORD has laid on him the iniquity of us all.”
Sir, we would see Jesus.
The preacher stood and spoke to them of Jesus.
