In Isaiah 49 we begin to see God's servant revealed whom He would send into the world. That servant is none other than God the Son, the Lord Jesus Christ who would be sent to be the sacrifice for sinners. 

In Isaiah 48 we learn that there is rest for God’s people because God Reassures His People. We may be like Israel and wander from God’s instruction and commands. But the quicker we learn to obey the quicker we’ll experience God’s blessing. His  Word reassures us of that. 

In Philippians 3:20-21 there are glimpses into the heavenly home and hope of all believers in Jesus Christ. It’s these insights into whose we are as believers in Jesus and our heavenly home that awaits us that should encourage us to live wholeheartedly, preparing ourselves for eternity, and showing others the way to follow Jesus. 

There is rest for God’s people because their future is in His hands. We can work hard to secure a future for ourselves, and work is necessary. But it was never meant to secure us the way God does when we trust Him and follow His Word. In Isaiah 45 we learn to see how God gives rest to His people.

God’s children need good examples to follow. God’s children should also be learning to be good examples others can imitate as they follow Christ. But there is also the need to learn to avoid sinful examples. Philippians 3:18-19 warns and shows us ways to identify examples not to follow.
