Scripture: Isaiah 54:1-6
The scripture for this message is found in the book of Isaiah. Let me share a little background about the prophet Isaiah, who was also called the prophet of redemption. He spoke to the children of Israel about God’s hatred of sin and idolatry and called them to repentance. He also prophesied about their redemption. In the New Testament, he is referred to by name 21 times and alluded to many times. Jesus began His ministry by reading from Isaiah 61. God’s promise to redeem Israel can be found in Isaiah chapters 49-57.
