Isaiah 49:4 – Did Jesus Ever Get Depressed?
Did Jesus ever get depressed, despondent, or at least disappointed in His impact on others? Last night we had an enlightening and hopefully uplifting – because misery loves company – time with the 2nd Servant Song (Isaiah 49:1ff). We recalled the many NT passages which gave reality to the first two lines of v.4 which have the servant (Jesus) sharing his woes: But I myself said, “I have labored in vain; I have spent my strength for nothing and futility.” I’ve been there, how about you?
The good news is God speaks to His Servant promising a greater victory than the apparent failure. I’ll be there too, one day; how about you?
