Pastor Duckett preached from the book of Isaiah on Sunday, December 29th.
Isaiah
|
||||||||
Isaiah, the "Mount Everest of Hebrew prophecy," resembles the Bible in miniature. Its first thirty-nine chapters correspond to the thirty-nine books of the Old Testament and stress the righteousness, holiness, and justice of God. The prophet announces judgment upon immoral and idolatrous people beginning with Judah, then Judah's neighboring nations, and finally the whole world. Surely there is cause to groan under God's chastening hand. | ||||||||
But the last twenty-seven chapters correspond to the twenty-seven books of the New Testament and portray God's glory, compassion, and undeserved favor. Messiah will come as a Savior to bear a cross and as a Sovereign to wear a crown. Therefore, " 'Comfort, yes comfort My people!' says your God" (40:1). | ||||||||
