Isaiah 55:1-13: Buy Without Money

The LORD calls all people to come and receive His great salvation, won by the Suffering Servant. The gifts of His Word come without cost to those who hear it, and those gifts bring greater blessings than any earthly food or money. Now is the time for people to seek the LORD and forsake their own wickedness, for the LORD is compassionate. His ways and thoughts are higher than ours. In His wisdom, He works through His Word to bring about His purposes. As those who receive the LORD’s blessings through faith, we join together with all creation in the joy and peace that He gives. Rev. David Boisclair, pastor at Our Redeemer Lutheran Church in Overland, MO, joins host Rev. Timothy Appel to study Isaiah 55:1-13. "The Fifth Evangelist” is a series on Sharper Iron that goes through Isaiah 40-66. Though Isaiah lived one hundred years beforehand, he writes to the people of God in exile in Babylon to assure them that their God reigns and will rescue them through the work of His servant. These promises are fulfilled in Jesus Christ, whose work Isaiah proclaims vividly seven hundred years beforehand.
