(ESV)\n\n        The prophet Isaiah, speaking as inspired by the Holy Spirit,\n   invites each person to join in God's rich banquet of wisdom and\n   blessings.  This invitation gives a time and place and menu.  Now\n   is the time, wherever the good news of salvation from sin and\n   death is proclaimed is the place, and the menu is God's rich\n   blessing of everlasting life.\n\n        Isaiah pleads for everyone to listen to this invitation for\n   their eternal blessing.  He shows by the example of God's\n   promises to King David that this invitation is real and for all\n   people.\n        Incline your ear, and come to me; hear, that your soul\n        may live; and I will make with you an everlasting\n        covenant, my steadfast, sure love for David.  Behold, I\n        made him a witness to the peoples, a leader and\n        commander for the peoples.\n\n\n        What is the promise made to King David to which Isaiah\n   refers?  It is the promise that the Messiah, the Redeemer of all\n   people, is to be a descendant of the great king.  Indeed, the\n   Evangelists Matthew and Luke show conclusively that Jesus is\n   descended from David.\n\n        The covenant God makes is simple, He grants us pardon and\n   peace because His Son, Jesus Christ, took upon Himself our sins.\n   This forgiveness is offered to us as a gift, not as something we\n   earn.\n\n        Who needs this forgiveness?  We do.  No one, except Jesus\n   Christ, is without sin.  No one has perfectly kept the letter of\n   the law, much less the spirit of the law.  Yet God, in His mercy,\n   invites you to Himself, to trust in His promises, and to receive\n   complete remission of our sins.  This is the message of the\n   Gospel, proclaimed throughout the Old and New Testaments alike.\n\n        May our Lord grant you the peace of knowing your sins are\n   forgiven, for where there is forgiveness, there is life\n   everlasting.  Amen.<\/code><\/pre>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>October 15, 2024 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-2417","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\/2417","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=2417"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2417\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2418,"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2417\/revisions\/2418"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2417"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2417"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2417"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
