Isaiah 40: Babylon Blown Down, God Guards the Exiles’ Way -- 2019/11/14

Rev. Thomas Eckstein, pastor of Concordia Lutheran Church in Jamestown, North Dakota, joins host Rev. AJ Espinosa to study Isaiah 40. The voice of God calls out to His people exiled in Babylon. They have suffered for their sins, but now they will be restored by God’s grace. This is Isaiah 40’s message of comfort, from the perspective of over 100 years after the previous chapter. Compared to God the Creator, Judah’s enemies are like dust and grass. The one who oversees the ways of the stars will guard the way for His people’s journey home. Centuries later, God would prepare the way for Christ the true Temple, and one day, He will lift us up on eagles’ wings to the life of the world to come.
