This story or summary, comes from the writings and prophecies of Isaiah the prophet:
Isaiah 9, 11, 40, 50, 53, 55, 60
Explore these ideas as you read the passages from Isaiah:
Isaiah 9, 11, 40, 50, 53, 55, 60
Explore these ideas as you read the passages from Isaiah:
- Isaiah 9:1-7 - This is about the darkness and oppression that traps Israel. But God has a plan. Pay close attention to verses 6-7; they are talking about Jesus, when he comes give his life for us, and when he comes back as King.
- Isaiah 11- Jesse, as mentioned in this passage, was King David's father. The Branch refers to Jesus, the promised Messiah. This prophecy contains promises about when Jesus first came as a human; and it tells many things about his second coming. Can you separate the statements about the first coming of Jesus and the second coming ? Are there some things that really apply to both?
- Isaiah 40:1-11, 40:28-31 - Isaiah 40 begins by describing John the Baptist, calling for repentance in the wilderness. Then it talks about the struggle of humans to do what is right. And it announces that the King is coming.
- Isaiah 50:4-10 - The "Servant" of God is talking at the beginning. Then the people are challenged to listen to the Servant. Many who read this did not understand that Jesus was both the Servant and the King.
- Isaiah 53, 55, 60 - These chapters in Isaiah are part of a longer song or poem that is all about the promised Messiah and how God is going to save the World. But as most poetry, it uses metaphors and illustrations that can be hard to understand. Can you find a few metaphors in these chapters?
