How do we as Christians suffer well? In light of current suffering, Paul puts before believers their future glory in order to help them endure faithfully today. We as believers need to face the reality of suffering in the present age and examine if and why we think it's worth it.

Isaiah writes about the spiritual relationship between God and man that is and will continue to be true all the way until the return of Jesus Christ.  The purpose of this entire book is captured in the ideas held in these chapters, as Scripture has always been given for us to understand how to respond to God's holy judgment and loving grace.  Chapter 53 will be dealt with separately and specifically in the next installment.

God has declared judgment upon His guilty people.  But what of the other nations?  What will God do with godless nations that have long stood as enemies of the Lord?  And if He declares judgment on them as well, will He also extend the same hope of salvation as He does to undeserving Judah?

God's people (Israel and Judah) have rebelled, and God has chosen to use a godless people (Assyria) to judge them.  Where is the hope when the enemies of God carry out God's will upon the people of God who defy it?

What is the difference between faith in the Bible and faith in Jesus?  What is the difference between reading God's Word and hearing God's voice?  And, of course, how can a Christian learn to know God's will for his/her life?
