"But watch out, you who live in your own light and warm yourselves by your own fires. This is the reward you will receive from me: You will soon fall down in great torment." (Isaiah 50:11 NLT) This is an ominous warning to those of us who have been raised with mantras like, "Pull yourself up by your bootstraps" or "Stand on your own two feet."
The "Suffering Servant" poems that begin in Isaiah 52 are obviously graphic prophecies about Christ. They are worth reflection over and over again!
