(ESV)\n\n        The prophet Isaiah wrote:\n        For you shall go out in joy and be led forth in peace;\n        the mountains and the hills before you shall break\n        forth into singing, and all the trees of the field\n        shall clap their hands.  Instead of the thorn shall\n        come up the cypress; instead of the brier shall come up\n        the myrtle; and it shall make a name for the LORD, an\n        everlasting sign that shall not be cut off.\n\n\n        God's Word contains both law and Gospel.  As we hear His\n   law, we are driven to see our sin, and called to repent.\n   Repentant sinners are shown the Gospel, that there is truly the\n   forgiveness of our sins for the sake of the suffering, death, and\n   resurrection of Jesus.  Because we are declared holy, righteous,\n   and not guilty in God's sight, we are given the gift of eternal\n   life.\n\n        Therefore, even when we have troubles, we have the peace of\n   knowing that we are loved by God.  Problems are temporary, the\n   gift of salvation and God's rich favor are for eternity.  Our\n   focus shifts from this moment of pain and frustration to God's\n   gift of life everlasting.\n\n        Isaiah's view of heaven, his view of eternal life, gives us\n   comfort even when we are suffering the effects of this sinful\n   world.  We know, because God's Word is true, that He showers us\n   with His love.\n\n        May your find comfort and peace knowing that God has given\n   you life for the sake of His Son.  Amen.<\/code><\/pre>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Broadcast<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[10],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1481","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-turn-your-radio-on-2024"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1481","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1481"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1481\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1482,"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1481\/revisions\/1482"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1481"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1481"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1481"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
