Upending Our Expectations

Isaiah 53:1

Who believes what we've heard and seen?

Who would have thought GOD's saving power would look like this? (The Message)

So unexpected was Christ's advent that only a few understood what was going on. Who would have thought God's saving power would look like this?  Shouldn't God come in power and might to defeat the Roman armies? Shouldn't he impress everyone? Nope.  God's saving power looked like a baby in a feeding trough.  And so God delights in upending our expectations.
