Feeling Abandoned By God? (Isaiah 49:14-50:3)
Contributed on Jan 3, 2025
Lady Zion feels abandoned by God. God comforts her by saying He will make her beautiful again, and give her children. God also says, she feels abandoned because she was-- but that's about to change.
A few weeks ago, in Isaiah 47, we read about the fall of Babylon, the capital city of the Babylonian empire. The city was described using female imagery-- as a delicate virgin daughter, as a queen.

God, The Good Shepherd, Will Bring You Home (Isaiah 49:7-14)
Contributed on Nov 7, 2024
God promises his exiled people He will bring them from shame to honor, from exile to home, from being prisoners to freedom.

If you've ever been to a large amusement park, or zoo, or national/state park, you know that one of the most helpful things you can find there is a giant map with a little dot somewhere on it that says, "You are here." It's easy to get lost in the bigness of what you're ...read more

The Servant Of Isaiah 49 In Luke-Acts
Contributed on Oct 19, 2024
Part 2 of a rabbit trail exploring how the servant's calling is picked up not just by Jesus, but also by Ananias, Paul and Barnabas, in Acts. We are all to be lights, and "salvation," up to the ends of the earth.
Two weeks ago, we worked our way through Isaiah 49:1-6. When I taught on it, I said that these are the words of God's exilic prophet. The prophet feels like his ministry has been a waste of his time and energy. It's accomplished nothing. And God responds to him, not by arguing with him, ...read more
