Isaiah 52:13-53:12The big question is not ‘Can I accept God?’ but ‘Can God accept me?’ This chapter tells us how. The preacher Charles Spurgeon was once asked to sum up the Bible in a sentence. His reply was ‘Jesus died for me’. It’s a truth revealed here 700 years before Jesus was born.

Isaiah 40:1-31All of us have times in our lives when we have doubts. We wonder ‘Does God really care?’ and ‘Does God really have the power?’ The answers to our doubts are found in the sovereign shepherd of this chapter.

Isaiah 9:1-7The transformation Isaiah foresaw hinged on the coming of a King who would reign for ever and who would be God with us. In Jesus the promised Immanuel has now come.

Isaiah 6:1-13Isaiah’s vision of the Holy One of Israel is a stark contrast to the pocket-sized God of many Christians today. It is only when we see God as he really is that start to see ourselves as we really are.
