12/29 Isaiah 40:1-5
1 “Comfort, comfort my people,” says your God. 2 “Speak tenderly to Jerusalem. Tell her that her sad days are gone and her sins are pardoned. Yes, the LORD has punished her twice over for all her sins.” 3 Listen! It’s the voice of someone shouting, “Clear the way through the wilderness for the LORD ! Make a straight highway through the wasteland for our God! 4 Fill in the valleys, and level the mountains and hills. Straighten the curves, and smooth out the rough places. 5 Then the glory of the LORD will be revealed, and all people will see it together. The LORD has spoken!”
SPOKEN
The Lord has spoken-He will comfort His people in Jesus Christ. Christ, the Creator of All Things, has come to save His people from the wages of sin. Jesus Christ has broken their chains of bondage that sin had placed on their lives. In Christ we have a relationship with the Father and eternal life beginning right now. God has spoken in Jesus Christ and we belong to Him.
