Winston Churchill once exclaimed, “Study history! Study history!” True and please, Mr. Churchill. But how often do we ignore the living history within ears’ distance- the stories of the lives of those sitting amongst us- reckoning history as reserved for books alone?

What bearing does the book of Isaiah have on us today? How do believers deepen their understanding of the gospel while reading through the Old Testament? Is the call to “Behold your God” made in Isaiah 40 a call for us today to share the gospel of Jesus Christ?
