Isaiah 49

 Read Isaiah 42 & 49

VIDEO

Really take time this week to sit in this passage and slowly go through your notes. It asks a lot of good questions and sets a lot of hard and yet wonderful truths in front of us.

Outline for the video 

Intro- Don't get ahead! This is not the first time we have heard this warning. Do not approach the Word with the mentality...Oh I have read this before and interject your understanding. Let the word speak and teach. We won't learn anything new if we continue to try and teach the word rather than listen.

Isaiah 49:

Rare benefit of this passage- we enter into the human struggles of Jesus of Nazareth

-truly God yet truly Man- sinless man but not an effortless human life

-we read how the Messiah speaks to His Father when ministry is tough

-We must see faith as it is- we are the empty handed recipients of it

Read Psalm 77: 3,5,10

    -can you relate to these verses? 

    - min marker 3:21-4:42

        +slowly listen and reflect. How do you respond when what you believe breaks your heart, when there is a gap between what you are reading in scripture and what you are living for.

Isaiah 49:1-3


v 4 contrast --> agony of work without purpose or substance

Read John 6

-let us pause here and see Jesus' true struggle yet perfectly obedient response

THE LORD IS MY REWARD- can we say that?

v5--> preaching to Himself in hardship go to scripture and lay hold of the facts

2 simple applications:

Do you adore the Jesus that really is?

Can you follow Him more closely?
