他在耶和華面前生長如嫩芽，像根出於乾地。他無佳形美容……也無美貌使我們羨慕他。……他誠然擔當我們的憂患，背負我們的痛苦……。哪知他為我們的過犯受害，為我們的罪孽壓傷。……因他受的鞭傷，我們得醫治。
以賽亞書 53:2a,4a,5
耶穌是嫩芽。祂為了我們離開祂在天上的卓越尊貴，取了嬰孩脆弱的肉身形狀。當祂成長時，祂只在神的指示下使用超自然能力，來向祂的跟隨者顯明神藉著那些相信祂的人想要做的。耶穌並不以人們的疾病或憂患引發祂裡面深切的愛和憐憫的情感為恥。耶穌說……
當我柔和的靈在你裡面，你不會懼怕別人會如何看待你。你會與受苦者哀哭，嘆息。你會搜尋我的話，直到你能夠以你自己和讚美為祭物，並看到我的醫治為止……
1113 JESUS is TENDER
JESUS is TENDER. For us He left His preeminence in heaven and took on the fragile, physically weak form of a baby. As He grew, He used supernatural power only as directed by God and to illustrate to His followers what God wants to do through those who believe. Jesus was unashamed of the deep emotions of love and compassion which people’s sickness or grief aroused in Him. JESUS says…
When My Spirit of tenderness is in you, you will not be afraid of what others might of you. You will weep, groan with those who suffer. You will search My Word till you are able to make a sacrifice of yourself and of praise and see My healing…
“For He grew up before Him like a tender shoot, And like a root out of parched ground; He has no stately form or majesty That we should look upon Him…Surely our griefs He Himself bore, And our sorrows He carried… He was pierced through for our transgressions, He was crushed for our iniquities… By His scourging we are healed.”
Isaiah 53:2a,4a,5
