isaiah 35

If you’ve experienced the oppression of spiritual forces of darkness, or chronic disease, or permanent disabilities, or lingering illness or painful injury, you’ve experienced the truth that this world is not as it was created to be. Decay and death have entered in. Miseries abound. And what we need is the healing and hope only the Messiah can give. 

I. The Messiah’s healings overflow to Gentiles, v29. II. The Messiah’s healings confirm his office and calling, v30. III. The Messiah’s healings provoke the worship of God, v31. IV. The Messiah’s healings aren’t finished.

Reviewing this concept in the Bible, the Way is well-attested throughout, from the earliest beginnings in Genesis all the way through the NT writings. The Way of Yahweh is variously described as the way to the tree of life, the way of wisdom, the way of righteousness, and sometimes simply the Way.

In this episode, the Way is charted from Genesis, through the ministries of John and Yeshua, and into the lives of the early believers. The Way is something that is distinct from where the rest of the world travels. Being on this Way of holiness means that one is traveling within a way of life that is intentionally set apart for God's purposes, and this Way can keep even our foolish inclinations in check.

John the Baptist sent word to Jesus: “Are you the one who is to come, or shall we look for another?” I. Who is it that’s doubting?, vv2-3.  II. Why does he have these doubts?, vv1-3. III. How does Jesus answer his doubts and strengthen his faith?, vv4-6

I. The blind men have eyes to see that Jesus is the Messiah, the Son of David, v27. II. The blind men seek mercy from the Messiah, and receive it, vv27-31. III. Religious leaders are frequently blind, and mixed up about Jesus,  vv32-34.

Deserts feel barren, lifeless, and harsh.  Many of our heroes in Scripture, including the most familiar names, spent time in desert places.  While there, God often showed up and transformed them.

Each of us encounter desert experiences in our lives as well: times of loneliness, obscurity, discipline, mental illness, and thirst for more in life- just like our heroes in Scripture.  Is there a Way out?  Who knows it?  How can we find that Way, in all the sandy sadness and searing stress of life?

And what comes after Luke 3?  Thankfully, Barb is there to guide us through that (tricky?) question as well.

Into the dried up, broken cracks of our lives and neighborhood, Christ our hope appears to strengthen, heal, and restore - transforming our sighs of sorrow into songs of flourishing. Isaiah 35:1-10 gives us a vision of the world God is on mission to cultivate, inviting us to be co-gardeners of flourishing.
