This morning's worship service went well. My chaplain had the day off to be with his family. So I covered for him overseeing the gathering in his absence. All the men were on their best behavior, as usual...
After Robert made the announcements for the coming week, I asked Felipe to open the service with a prayer. Next came the choir with a handful of songs to lead us in worship. Later I was able to expound further on my message based on Isaiah chapter fifty-three. I did this yesterday evening also. I believe the Lord is leading me to teach on this chapter, and to show the men how it ties into various New Testament passages.
As I wrote on March 14, "Isaiah 53" is probably one of the most important and interesting passages in the Old Testament in that it so clearly portrays the life and sufferings of the Lord Jesus. It was written approximately 700 years before His birth. Amazing!
And it's now Sunday evening and the day is almost gone. I'm thankful for all God is doing in this prison. The living Christ is my source of life and hope.
