“You did not choose me, but I chose you” (John 15:16). God has chosen you. What a great truth and honor! Each of us has been handpicked by God even before our existence on earth. Before we were born God had a plan and a purpose for us.

Isaiah 42 prophesies about the Messiah and his role as God’s chosen servant. He would come with humility, as the Son of Man, to fulfill God’s given purpose in life.
