 Worthy Brief - April 9, 2026 


The z'roah -- the arm that redeems!


Exodus 6:6  Therefore say to the sons of Israel, I am Jehovah, and I will bring you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians, and I will rescue you out of their bondage. And I will redeem you with a stretched-out arm, and with great judgments.


There is a striking symbol placed on every Passover Seder plate—the z’roah, the shankbone. It sits quietly, often explained simply as a remembrance of the Passover sacrifice, yet within it lies a far deeper revelation. The word z’roah (זְרוֹעַ) means “arm”, and it is the very word God uses in Exodus when He declares, “I will redeem you with an outstretched arm.” This was not just a promise of deliverance -- it was a revelation of how God Himself would act in power, strength, and salvation. 


Throughout Scripture, this z’roah—the arm of the Lord—becomes a central picture of God’s intervention. In Isaiah, we are told that with His arm He gathers the lambs (Isaiah 40:11), carrying them close to His heart. With His arm, He rules (Isaiah 40:10), bringing authority and justice. And most astonishing of all, it says that His arm brings salvation to Himself -- as if God alone accomplishes what no man could do. (Isaiah 59:16)


Then comes the piercing question: “To whom has the arm (z’roah) of the Lord been revealed?” (Isaiah 53:1).


What follows is not a picture of outward power -- but of suffering laid out in Isaiah 53.


The arm of the Lord is revealed not in strength as the world expects, but in a Servant who is despised and rejected. One who carries our griefs and bears our sorrows. One who is pierced for our transgressions and crushed for our iniquities. One who is led like a lamb to the slaughter -- silent, broken, and yet fully surrendered. And through His suffering, many are made righteous.


This is the mystery: the same arm that parted the sea, the same arm that shattered Egypt, the same arm that rules and reigns -- is revealed in the suffering Messiah. What appeared as weakness was in fact power, what looked like defeat was victory, and what seemed like loss was redemption. Year after year, the z’roah is placed on the Seder plate as a silent witness to this truth, yet its fullness is often left unrecognized. The symbol remains, but the revelation is hidden in plain sight.


This is where it becomes personal. The arm of the Lord has been revealed -- not only in history or in symbol, but in the One who bore your sin, carried your pain, and made a way where there was none. The question from Isaiah still echoes today: to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed? Will you see it? Will you recognize that the power of God is not distant, but has already been extended toward you?


This is the hour to behold the arm of the Lord -- not as a distant idea, but as a present reality. The arm that redeems is reaching for you, the arm that gathers is drawing you near, and the arm that rules is establishing His purpose in your life. The arm that brought salvation has already made a way. Do not miss what has been set before you. The z’roah has been placed on the table, the testimony has been given, and the revelation has been declared. Now is the moment to see it, receive it, and walk in it -- because the arm of the Lord has been revealed, and His salvation, His Y’shua, has come.

Charles Spurgeon's "Faith's Checkbook" Devotional for June 4

Charles Spurgeon's "Faith's Checkbook" Devotional for June 4 “Exceedingly Precious ” - Malachi 3:17 A day is coming in which the crown jewels of our great King shall be counted, that it may be seen whether they answer to the inventory which His Father gave Him. My soul, wilt thou be among the precious things of Jesus? Thou art precious to Him if He is precious to thee, and thou shalt be His "in that day," if He is thine in this day. In the days of Malachi, the chosen of the LORD were accustomed so to converse with each other that their God Himself listened to their talk. He liked it so well that He took notes of it; yes, and made a book of it, which He lodged in His record office. Pleased with their conversation, He was also pleased with them. Pause, my soul, and ask thyself: If Jesus lucre to listen to thy talk would He be pleased with it? Is it to His glory and to the edification of the brotherhood? Say, my soul, and be sure thou sayest the truth. But what...

Morning and Evening with A.W. Tozer Devotional for June 4

 Morning and Evening with A.W. Tozer Devotional for June 4 Tozer in the Morning "NOW IT IS THE LORD" Is it possible to become so enamored of God's good gifts that we fail to worship Him, the Giver? Dr. Albert B. Simpson, the founder of The Christian and Missionary Alliance, invited to preach in a Bible conference in England discovered on his arrival that he was to follow two other Bible teachers. All three had been given the same topic, "Sanctification." From the pulpit, the first speaker made clear his position that sanctification means eradication-the old carnal nature is removed. The second, a suppressionist, advised: "Sit on the lid and keep the old nature down!" Dr. Simpson in his turn quietly told his audience that he could only present Jesus Christ Himself as God's answer. "Jesus Christ is your Sanctifier, your all and in all! God wants you to get your eyes away from the gifts. He wants your gaze to be on the Giver-Christ Himself,"...

Days of Heaven on Earth Devotional for June 8

 Days of Heaven on Earth Devotional for June 8 “Bread corn is bruised” (Isaiah 28:28) The farmer does not gather timothy and blue grass, and break it with a heavy machine. But he takes great pains with the wheat. So God takes great pains with those who are to be of much use to Him. There is a nature in them that needs this discipline. Don’t wonder if the bread corn is treated with the wise, discriminating care that will fit it for food. He knows the way He is taking, and there is infinite tenderness in the oversight He gives. He is watching the furnace you are in lest the heat should be too intense. He wants it great enough to purify, and then it is withdrawn. He knoweth our frame. He will not let any temptation take us but such as is common to man, and He will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that we may be able to bear it. Do you believe in this disciplining love of the Husbandman, and are you trusting Him with the leading and government of your life? Oh, that you w...
