Welcome to a year in the Bible with Daily Grace.

This year, we want to spend a few minutes with you every day walking through our study Christ and all of Scripture.

Each week we will dive deeply into two passages of Scripture, one from the Old Testament and one from the New,

seeing how they connect and point to Jesus.

Whether you are doing the study yourself or just following along with us here, we are hopeful

that through studying these passages each week, you will see how Christ is not only present

throughout the entire biblical story, but the center of it. Hello, welcome back to a year in the

Bible. My name is Beth, and I am here with my co-host,. Hey everyone. Today we're going deeper into the passage

we annotated yesterday, Isaiah 5213 through 5312. So Beth, can you help us understand where this passage

fits in the story of the Bible? Of course. So once again, we are in the book of Isaiah. We've been in

this book for like five weeks now, I think, and this is actually the last passage that we're going to be reading from this book.

And so as we have seen, Isaiah was written to proclaim both judgment on God's people for their sin and to assure them that God would eventually bring restoration and healing for his people.

And so you could argue that this is one of the

most important passages for that message, because it really shows us in detail how God is going to

bring about that redemption that he's been promising. And so it shows us that he's going to bring

about this redemption through a servant who will suffer for the sins of the people.

Yeah, we first started talking about this servant last week.

So it's interesting to keep seeing where Alice Isaiah talks about this servant and the hope that he would bring.

There's much we could say about the servant himself from today's passage, but what does this passage tell us about God's character?

Yeah, so the suffering servant is the perfect testament to God's justice and his mercy. He is just because he does not ignore the sin and the rebellion

of his people. It would actually be inconsistent and kind of ridiculous for God to spend a decent

amount of time talking about how serious and offense sin is to him and how it's so deserving of judgment for him
