One of the great treasures of Christianity is that God tells me the truth about myself, my sin, and the salvation he gives through Jesus.

Before we can share Christ with others, we need to be freshly convinced that he is the greatest treasure of all.

Let me begin with a story.
Albert McMakin was a young farmer in North Carolina. In 1934, when he was 24 years old, Albert became a Christian at a series of church meetings in a nearby town. He was so excited by what he had discovered that he filled his truck with friends and drove them to the next meeting so that they could hear about Jesus too…

The LORD rejects empty religion, comforts his trembling people, judges his enemies, and gathers worshippers from all nations into his everlasting new creation.

God answers Isaiah’s prayer by exposing rebellious hearts, preserving his servants, and promising a new creation filled with joy, security, fellowship, and peace.

When God seems distant, his people remember his mercy, confess their sin, and plead for him to come down and save.

The divine warrior comes alone to judge evil and redeem his people, so that salvation is secured and wickedness is finally destroyed.

The Spirit-anointed Messiah proclaims grace, restores the ruined city, gives his people new names, and calls them to pray until his salvation shines.
