We covered a lot of ground on Saturday with the timeline along with the study of Isaiah 42.
I enjoyed discussing how Isaiah was writing about God the Son coming as The Servant for Israel and for all believers. This was written 0ver 700 years before Jesus came as the Messiah.
He was chosen. He will bring justice and unity. He will not break, quit, or give up. He will not throw away the lowly and the weak. He will heal and free people.
750 years later, Philip was able to discuss this section of Isaiah with the eunuch to show him how Jesus is the Messiah. Another 2,000 years later, we get to sit in a room and discuss the same!
My challenge to you this week is to study the timeline and read Isaiah 43 to prepare for more great discussion time this Saturday.
Be intentional.
