It’s all about Jesus!
Isaiah 50
Learn to meditate, slow the words down.
• His name is Jesus …
Though we are sinners, He never rejects us by divorcing us, v1
Yet when He came no one welcomed Him, v2
The answer to the rhetorical question of ‘can I save?’ is YES, v2
He hung on the cross in sheer darkness for you, v3
• His name is Jesus …
In His humanity He trained himself to hear the words of God, v4
• His name is Jesus
He suffered voluntarily, v6
In the middle of it all his confidence was in God, v7
Through it all He was determined, steadfast and courageous, v7
He reveals the truth: if God is for us who can be against us? v8-9
• His name is Jesus
Therefore, will you fear Him? Will you obey Him? Will you trust Him? v10
Therefore, do not light your own fires to guide your own paths, follow Him. v11
• His name is Jesus
Look at the cross of Christ again, you are not rejected.
Look at the training of Christ again, you can know the word of God.
Look at the suffering of Christ again, you can keep going.
Look at the challenge of Christ again, you can be His disciple.
