Salvation: A Study in Isaiahಮಾದರಿ

What does it say?
God’s people fasted and asked for justice but to no avail. The Lord would answer, guide, strengthen, and satisfy their needs if they turned from their rebellion.
What does it mean?
Fasting was meant as a time to completely abandon any selfish pursuit and seek God’s guidance. His people had turned this practice into a ritual with no substance, yet they didn’t understand why the Lord wasn’t answering their prayers. They complied with outward obedience but rebelled inwardly. Their poor treatment of each other was evidence that religious rituals don’t change hearts. God wanted to make them an ongoing source of blessing for others, but that required giving themselves completely to Him. Only then would they find the guidance, strength, and satisfaction they desired.
How should I respond?
Outward shows of Christianity are the result of a growing relationship with Jesus, not the cause. The reality of Christ in your life will spill out on the people around you in the form of generosity, mercy, graciousness, and sincerity. He wants to guide and strengthen you, but first, you have to give yourself to Him … completely. What attitude or thought do you need to confess as a rebellion against God? In what part of your Christian life are you just going through the motions? A right relationship with Jesus Christ is evidenced not by God’s outward blessing on your life but by your inward willingness to bless others.

God calls Isaiah to prophesy to the idolatrous and rebellious people of Israel. Although a season of destruction was coming, Isaiah also prophesied of a coming “servant of the Lord” who would be “pierced for our transgressions, crushed for our iniquities…and with His wounds we are healed” (Isaiah 53:5). Even amid deep wickedness, God was still painting pictures of a greater salvation to coming in the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ.
