                      Watering the Earth - Part 5
                            Isaiah 55:12-13
                              02/09/2024


        12   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.
        13   Instead of the thorn shall come up the cypress;
             instead of the brier shall come up the myrtle; and
             it shall make a name for the LORD, an everlasting
             sign that shall not be cut off.  (ESV)

        The prophet Isaiah wrote:
        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 make a name for the LORD, an
        everlasting sign that shall not be cut off.


        This week we have learned a lot about God's Word.  It is
   both His law, which shows us our need for a Savior, and the
   Gospel, which shows us how Jesus Christ took upon Himself our
   sin.  It is the eternal proclamation that we are saved from sin,
   death, and the power of the devil because of God's rich love,
   grace, and mercy.

        We believe, teach, and confess that the Bible is more than
   just a good book, but it is the Word of God which was written for
   our salvation.  Saint John wrote:
        Now Jesus did many other signs in the presence of the
        disciples, which are not written in this book; but
        these are written so that you may believe that Jesus is
        the Christ, the Son of God, and that by believing you
        may have life in his name.1


        Please join us at 9:00 a.m. at Trinity Lutheran Church to
   learn more of God's love as found in Jesus Christ.

        May our Lord richly bless you with His peace.  Amen.
