Handel

Sunday October 18th, Isaiah 53: 4 Surely he took up our infirmities and carried our sorrows, yet we considered him stricken by God, smitten by him, and afflicted. Handel does such a great job of presenting this in music. It real life, the drama continues. In spite of all our attempts to save ourselves as the expense of others, in the end, it is Christ, often looked down on, and trodden upon in the form of the masses, that saves us. After all our attempts, after all our destruction of one another for the sake of our own advancement, it is Christ, and Christ only who saves us. What we have rejected and replaced with all our anxiety is the joy of the journey.
