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.
