600 years before Jesus, Isaiah perfectly reveals Him. It is enough to single-handedly believe and follow Jesus forever. Isaiah notes four things we now see more clearly:
- That God takes great pleasure in Himself. The three Persons of the Trinity think the other Persons of the Trinity are pretty special. Do do otherwise would be blasphemy.
- The people of God are a bunch of losers, unchosen, poor, foreign, unpowerful people. Knuckleheads. God looks at us and says, "Yup, those are EXACTLY my people..."
- Jesus has a wonderful personality: not quarrelsome, not loud, not advertising, and gentle UNTIL...
- the moment when He brings JUSTICE TO VICTORY. If you have ever seen a person carrying a sign that says, "I want JUSTICE", you can be sure they haven't considered it very carefully. In the end, NOBODY will want just for themselves. We'd all be doomed...UNLESS we have HOPED in His name. That is the rescue from pure justice. Give me some of that!
Today is a kind message to all who may feel like they are "bruised reeds" and "smoldering wicks." The call is to move from "woe is me" to "go with HE". Subscribe on Apple Podcasts. It is the purple button on your new phone. Androids MOST welcome here too!
