    Isaiah 54:1-3
    Sing, O barren,
    You who have not
    borne!
    Break forth into
    singing and cry
    aloud,
    You who have not
    labored with child!
    For more are the
    children of the
    desolate than the
    children of the
    married woman.

    with fertility.

    For you shall expand

    And your descendents
    will inherit the nations,
    And make the desolate cities
    inhabited. 54:3

    Isaiah 54:4-10
    Do not fear, for you
    will not be ashamed;
    Neither be disgraced,
    for you will not be
    put to shame.
    For you will forget the
    shame of your youth,
    And will not remember
    the reproach of your
    widowhood anymore.

    Easter means . . . God’s nation


    is not forsaken
    and will receive
    an everlasting
    covenant of peace.

    For the mountains shall depart

    from you, nor shall My covenant
    of peace be removed, says the
    Lord who has mercy on you. 54:10

    Isaiah 54:11-17
    O you afflicted one,
    Tossed with tempest, and
    not comforted,
    Behold, I will lay your
    stones with colorful
    gems,
    And lay your foundations
    with sapphires.
    I will make your pinnacles
    of rubies,
    Your gates of crystal,
    And all your walls of Nehemiah
    precious stones.

    Israel’s Invitation

    Isaiah 55:1-3
    Ho! Everyone who
    thirsts,
    Come to the waters;
    And you who have no
    money,
    Come, buy and eat.
    Yes, come, buy wine
    and milk
    Without money and
    without price.

    7/31/10

    Easter means . . . God’s salvation


    requires only that
    we thirst for Him.

    Why do you spend money


    for what is not bread,
    And your wages for what does
    not satisfy?
    Listen carefully to Me, and eat
    what is good, And let your soul
    delight itself in abundance. 55:2

    Isaiah 55:4-7
    Surely you shall call
    a nation you do not
    know,
    And nations
    who do not know you
    shall run to you,
    Because of
    the Lord your God,
    And the Holy One of
    Israel;
    For He has glorified you.

    7/31/10

    Easter means . . . the invitation


    to God’s salvation
    is to everyone.
    Seek the Lord
    while He may be found,
    Call upon Him while He is near.
    Let the wicked forsake his way,
    And the unrighteous man
    his thoughts;
    Let him return to the Lord,
    And He will have mercy on him,
    And to our God,
    For He will abundantly pardon.

    Isaiah 55:8-9
    “My thoughts
    are not your thoughts;
    Nor are your ways
    My ways,”
    says the Lord.
    For as the heavens are
    higher than the earth,
    So are My ways higher
    than your ways,
    And My thoughts than
    your thoughts.

    Easter means . . . God’s salvation


    seems too simple.

    For by grace you have been


    saved through faith,
    and that not of yourselves;
    it is the gift of God,
    not of works
    lest anyone should boast.
    Ephesians 2:8-9

    7/31/10

    Isaiah 55:10-11

    “For as the rain comes down, and the snow from


    heaven, and do not return there, but water the
    earth, and make it bring forth and bud,
    That it may give seed to the sower
    and bread to the eater,
    So shall My word be that goes forth from my
    mouth.

    Easter means . . . God calls people to


    salvation effectively.

    [My word]
    shall not return to Me void,
    But it shall accomplish
    what I please,
    And it shall prosper in the thing
    for which I sent it.

    7/31/10

    Isaiah 55:12-13
    •  “For you shall go out in joy,
    and be led forth in peace;
    •  the mountains and the hills before you
    shall break forth into singing,
    •  and all the trees of the field
    shall clap their hands.
    •  “Instead of the thorn shall come up the
    cypress;
    instead of the brier shall come up the myrtle;
    •  and it shall be to the LORD for a memorial, for
    an everlasting sign which shall not be cut off.”
