Isaiah 48:1-50:23
This week we will look at the contrast between the people of God, Israel, and the Servant of God, Christ. Despite the rebelliousness of the people from birth, God continues to keep his promises and plan alive for them. This persistence of God’s love despite the way the people would receive it is remarkable, especially when you consider that He knew all this before he even began.
There are many things to consider as you read this passage. I would point out the statements on dis/obedience. There are many comforts and promises that are linked to our response to God. Lets take the time this week to consider how we live out our faith in obedience {or the lack there of}.
