The wrong value

We have the wrong value.

The wrong value is not esteeming Jesus (Isa. 53:3).

The reason why we don’t esteem Jesus is

Because we don’t like sorrows and suffering (v. 3).

Jesus was a man of sorrow (v. 3).

And He was familiar with suffering (v. 3).

But we turn our face away from sorrow and suffering

Because we hate them.

It’s because we are very used to joy, happiness, comfort and peace.

So we don’t esteem Jesus.

Rather, we don’t like Him and are rejecting Him.

It’s because our wrong value is driven by the lust of flesh (1 Jn. 2:16).

Like when Eve saw the fruit of the tree was good for food and pleasing to the eye (Gen. 3:6),

The reason why the things that we see in this world are

Pleasing to our eyes and good for food in our wrong value point of view is

Because of the lust of flesh.

The lust of flesh causes us to forsake eternal value

And make us to choose the momentary value.

The lust of flesh makes us not to distinguish what is precious and what is insignificant.

 As a result, we eat vain things that are good for food and pleasing to the eye

And thus we sin against God.
