There is only one Saviour Isaiah 47 Baby

There is only one Saviour

Isaiah 47

Babylon (our world system) has fallen under the hands of Cyrus. Isaiah speaks to them says your gods, your astrology and all your wisdom cannot save you.
You are stripped naked, v1-3
Your success is not lasting, v7
You think you are a god but you are not, v8, 10
Your wisdom will take you in the wrong direction, v10
No one can deliver you, v14
In stark contrast there is a Redeemer, the Lord Almighty, the Holy One, v4.
On this day in 1606, William Shakespeare’s play King Lear was performed at the court of King James I of England. Lear was one of the later works penned by the playwright and after the restoration period many thought the ending wasn’t happy enough so they changed it to make the audience have the feel-good factor.
Many have tried to do that with the gospel.
The truth is there is only one Christmas Day, there is only one Saviour. Outside of Him, there is no one who can save, there is no happy ending.
Now is the day of salvation, there is a Redeemer.
