Isaiah 60 gives us a vision of the future for God’s people. It is a future of glory as he shines upon us and dwells with us. Isaiah tells us to hold that vision firm in our minds because it provides the strength we need...
Isaiah 59 begins with sin, continues with sorrow, and ends in salvation. The message is that God graciously intervenes to save sinners and renew his people. This is a timeless message and broad in its relevance. Still today, the individual person needs to be saved,...
In this passage of Isaiah, the Lord sends a message for his people who are back in their homeland and free to worship him. He calls them to keep their worship pure by keeping their hearts humble and close to him. This is a message...

The message of Isaiah 51 is to the remaining exiles who are seeking the Lord. The Lord is calling them to listen to his word for comfort and courage in their current state of sorrow. The message landed well, so they prayed. Today, hear the...
This chapter gives us another picture of the Servant of the Lord who is Jesus Christ. Jesus lived a life of listening to the Father and speaking his word to us. He submitted his life to the will of the Father, which led to his...
God’s work through his Servant is to bring back his people to himself, and to bring his light to the nations. Through the Servant salvation will reach to the ends of the earth. This vision of God’s work in the world sustains us through hardship...
The contrast in these chapters is not between proud humans and humble humans. It is not between two kinds of humans at all. The contrast is between human pride and the grace of God. Pride leads to destruction. God’s grace leads to salvation. The call...
This passage is another exposure of the foolishness and futility of idolatry, for idols become burdens to those who trust them. Again God is exalted as Sovereign, for he will accomplish all that he purposes. The people of God are repeatedly exhorted to trust him...
The LORD thunders forth his absolute sovereignty over all. He reveals his intentions to save his people and his unexpected means for doing so. He insists that he is right in doing what he does in the way he chooses to do it. He again...
This passage contains the two-sided affirmation that the LORD only is God, and that idolatry is foolish and futile. The clear witness of Scripture is that God does not dwell in images of wood, stone, and metal, nor in the mental imaginations of man. As...
The word “grace” is not used in this passage, but it could be written over the whole of it. This passage communicates the uniqueness of God as the one living and true LORD, the Creator, the Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel. He alone can...
The message to God’s people is that his Servant will heal them up not break them to ruin. He will fan the flame of their faintly burning lives not blow them out. The Lord is with them in their weakness to bring them under his...

In this section of Isaiah 40 the Lord is reasoning with his people. Through a series of questions he leads them to see his incomparable nature, power, and ways. Isaiah gives us a new understanding of God in Christ, and by it we are renewed...
The renewing vision for the downcast and disheartened, for doubters and those in despair, for all who are in some kind of darkness, is God in his greatness and grace. Isaiah’s prophecy to the exiles points to Jesus Christ who came as the triumphant king...
