Bern Leckie and Owen Lynch share thoughts and feelings about the chapters 28 to 49 of the book of Isaiah.
When was the last time you thought about how amazing it is that people - including us - can hear from God? How can we know we hear from the real God, and don’t just replay our own ideas about life?
Isaiah gives lots of guidance on this to people who desperately needed to know the reality of God’s presence with them, love for them and hope for their future.
One way to measure this would be justice - life following things other than God ended up denying people’s access to this, but social justice would be achievable when people followed a way of life that God promised to reveal.
While people might have expected this way of life to be about recognisable strength, riches and powerful allies, Isaiah surprisingly prophesied that it would be more about service. Israel would learn how this works through a remarkable servant that God would raise up among them. In exile, Israel might have considered Daniel to be a leader like this, but did God have even greater plans, involving an even greater servant - God himself, revealed in Christ Jesus?
In next part of our boxset, we complete what Isaiah and his disciples shared with Israel about Israel’s future and God would change the world with them, and listen to Psalms 79 to 89. Listen along at your own pace at severnvineyard.org/bible.
