ISAIAH 50
ISRAEL’S REBELLION + GOD’S FAITHFULNESS
God reminds Israel of His power and authority over creation. It is not God’s inability to save Israel that has brought them to a place of destruction, but their own sin and faithlessness.
Isaiah has been sustained by God and given the strength and understanding to deliver God’s word. Because of God’s powerful message of destruction and warning, Isaiah is beaten up and spit on. Similar to Jesus, Isaiah was sent by God and rejected by man.
Questioning the Israelites, Isaiah asks who fears the Lord and obeys His voice as a servant. Isaiah calls for those who walk in darkness to turn towards God.
