Answer Key
1. “A plant growing in dry ground appears
stunted and unattractive. The Jewish
leaders found the character of Jesus
unappealing” {4BC, 290}
“The Beloved of heaven was to them ‘as
a root out of a dry ground;’ He had ‘no
form nor comeliness;’ and they say in
Him no beauty that they should desire
Him. ‘He came unto His own, and His
own received Him not.’” (Isaiah 53:2;
John 1:11).
They were expecting Jesus to come as a
King to deliver them from the Romans.
But they were not to be attracted to
Christ by a display of supernatural glory,
but by the beauty of a righteous life.
