What if Jesus had come to earth in another way? He is God after all. He didn't HAVE to plan to come as a baby. Have you ever considered why? Jason Gray's song grapples with this idea in his song "I Will Find a Way" based on a short story, "An Advent Monologue," by Walter Wangerin Jr.

Join me on a journey to Isaiah 43 where we hear the loving voice of our Father.

On this episode I discuss:

• Taking a B.I.T.E. out of Scripture - this week's Bible Interaction Tool Exercises include:
  • Context
  • Reading aloud
• "Ragman: And Other Cries of Faith" by Walter Wangerin, Jr.
• A review of the song and the story it's based on
• God's "tone of voice" and how we interpret it
• The phrase in the song that leads us to Isaiah 43
• All the ways God comforts us with his love in Isaiah 43
• How we in turn burden and weary Him - Isaiah 43:22-24
• The thieves, collectors, and looters displayed in the story, song, and Scripture - 2 Peter 2:17-19
• How God handles our transgressions - Isaiah 43:25
• John's description of Emmanuel...God with us - John 1:9-14

This Week's Challenge Read Isaiah 43. If you’re up for it, read Isaiah 42-45 for even greater context. Read it out loud picturing the voice of a Father who is seeking to make a way. To consider a vivid description of the destructive nature of false teachers, head over to 2 Peter 2. Why do we sit in bondage to this when we have the true light of the world who came for us?
