Grace Community Church - Nashville

How does the hope of an eternal future change us today? How does it help us as we seek to live out our faith? These questions are addressed in today's podcast as we look back at Isaiah 54-55.

The Words of Grace Podcast seeks to clarify, amplify, and apply the Sunday morning sermon at Grace Community Church. From time to time we will address other topics. We hope these podcasts help impress the Word of God into your everyday life. Episodes are hosted by Justin Tucker and Scott Patty.

This prophecy gives us reasons to rejoice and to respond to the work of the Servant who reconciles us to God. We hear his grace that reverses the results of sin and that calls us to come to him for all that satisfies our soul. The Servant has secured our salvation, now let us seek him by faith until we meet him face to face.

In this Servant passage we again see Jesus Christ. He is revealed as the one who atoned for our sins. This means that he took upon himself the guilt and the penalty of our sin, though he himself had not sinned. By suffering the just penalty for sin, he removed it from all who repent and believe in him. Today we are called to see Jesus as the Suffering Servant who took away our sin, and ourselves as the sinners for whom he died. With this vision of Jesus and ourselves, we repent and believe in him. We find our assurance before God to live and to take the message of the church to the world.

The message of Isaiah 51 is to the remaining exiles who are seeking the Lord. The Lord is calling them to listen to his word for comfort and courage in their current state of sorrow. The message landed well, so they prayed. Today, hear the word of the Lord. See yourself in the history of God’s people and the plan of God’s salvation. Let comfort and courage from the promises of God rule over fear in your heart. Listen, pray, and live.

This chapter gives us another picture of the Servant of the Lord who is Jesus Christ. Jesus lived a life of listening to the Father and speaking his word to us. He submitted his life to the will of the Father, which led to his rejection and suffering. He was vindicated by the Father in the resurrection and is now exalted as Lord. Morning by morning we come to the Father with Jesus and his word sustains our weary souls. Let us listen to him.
