Topic :Take Advantage Of His Grace And Comfort.
Memory Verse :Isaiah 40:5. Then the glory of the Lord will be revealed, and the whole human race will see it. The Lord himself has promised this.”
Bible Reading :Isaiah 40:2-4 GNB. Key Verse : v3.
Encourage the people of Jerusalem. Tell them they have suffered long enough and their sins are now forgiven. I have punished them in full for all their sins. ”A voice cries out, “Prepare in the wilderness a road for the Lord! Clear the way in the desert for our God! Fill every valley; level every mountain. The hills will become a plain, and the rough country will be made smooth.
One thing about the word of God is that because it carries the Spirit and life of God, it doesn’t loose it’s power in any generation. Till Christ returns every scripture will keep producing results for mankind in general and for God’s people in particular, that is those who believe in his name. The word of comfort here is not only for the people of Jerusalem whom God in his love decided to show mercy, but all mankind. The people of God those days had very ugly experiences in the hands of nations that took them captive out of their rebellion to the Lord. In the midst of their troubles, God always came through for them as his beloved children, whom he couldn’t abandon forever. “Sing, heavens! Shout for joy, earth! Let the mountains burst into song! The Lord will comfort his people; he will have pity on his suffering people. But the people of Jerusalem said, “The Lord has abandoned us! He has forgotten us.” So the Lord answers, “Can a woman forget her own baby and not love the child she bore? Even if a mother should forget her child, I will never forget you.” Isaiah 49:13-15.
When the prophet talked about the glory of God being revealed to the human race, he was talking about the revelation Jesus Christ who is the express image of God. John confirmed him to be the creator and glory revealed. That is God at the level where we mortals can handle and relate with in our frail and fragile nature and be safe. John bore testimony of this and Jesus Christ himself confirmed his assignment. “What did you go out to see? A man dressed up in fancy clothes? People who dress like that live in palaces! Tell me, what did you go out to see? A prophet? Yes indeed, but you saw much more than a prophet. For John is the one of whom the scripture says: ‘God said, I will send my messenger ahead of you to open the way for you.’ I assure you that John the Baptist is greater than anyone who has ever lived. But the one who is least in the Kingdom of heaven is greater than John.” Matthew 11:8-11.
“Grace be to you and peace from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ. Blessed be God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies, and the God of all comfort; Who comforteth us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort them which are in any trouble, by the comfort wherewith we ourselves are comforted of God. For as the sufferings of Christ abound in us, so our consolation also aboundeth by Christ.” 2 Corinthians 1:2-5. The comfort of God in our generation is packaged in his son Jesus Christ. We access it by faith in his name as saviour through his Spirit given to us when we believe. The package itself in summary is called GRACE. Grace makes our journey worthwhile and his Spirit who guides us keeps us on the paths of safety and his blessings. The key to accessing this grace is repentance which activates the process of healing, restoration and recovery.
