I set my face like flint

[MoreCoffee]

I set my face like flint - expressionless?
Is that how you think of the Lord as he suffered beatings and shameful treatment from Jews and Romans up to and including his crucifixion?

Isaiah 50: 5 -9

A reading from the prophet Isaiah​

The Lord has opened my ear.
For my part, I made no resistance,
neither did I turn away.
I offered my back to those who struck me,
my cheeks to those who tore at my beard;
I did not cover my face
against insult and spittle.
The Lord comes to my help,
so that I am untouched by the insults.
So, too, I set my face like flint;
I know I shall not be shamed.
My vindicator is here at hand.
Does anyone start proceedings against me?
Then let us go to court together.
Who thinks he has a case against me?
Let him approach me.
The Lord is coming to my help,
who dare condemn me?​
