As parents our goal is not to raise pampered babies but mature adults! And to help them get where they need to be we have to learn when to chasten and when to comfort. Like a loving parent, God at times chastens and comforts His children! Pastor Matt VanderVen has an eye on Isaiah forty today, and what’s been called the New Testament section of this Old Testament book. You’ll recognize the change in style and mood right away. Instead of an emphasis on Judgment comfort is given.
