From Isaiah to Jesus


The book of Isaiah is, according to its opening verse, addressed to a rebellious Judah and Jerusalem. The opening chapters are just plain awful to consider.

Chapter one tells of how God is repulsed by their worship (Isaiah 1:11-15). That fact alone should prompt a trip to the place where only me and God go... my heart.

But, quite frankly, there is more that moves me to a borderline terror. It’s in chapter 3, verse one, where God states that He is “taking away from Jerusalem and Judah support and supply…”
How can we go on? How can we exist without the support and supply of Almighty God? We can’t.

Take that fact to God and ask Him what is necessary for that to never take place in your life or in the life of your church. Somehow, I bet you end up back at Jesus.
