Lent (16)
  1. God puts Himself on trial in order to demonstrate to His people that He is their only qualified deliverer.
  2. The first Exodus for God’s people was from Egypt. The second Exodus is for the exiles in Isaiah. The greatest Exodus would be for all people with Jesus.
  3. The question is: Who is the watchman? By whose blood are we accounted for as righteous before God?
  4. Grace is God’s attitude towards sinners; not holding their sins against them but relenting from the Law’s just judgement and giving the undeserved Gospel instead.
  5. Nothing is sweeter or more nourishing than Jesus Christ, the fulfilled promise of God for us.
  6. The prophet is clear that this coming King would be different from the common experience of kings, both in Israel and among all the kings of the earth.
  7. God has chosen to covenant with us, to forgive us, and not hold our sins and trespasses against us. He has changed His attitude towards us.
  8. By looking to Him in faith we receive healing and eternal life through the salvation He bore for us on the cross and secured in His resurrection.
  9. The Law does its work of killing so we are drawn to Christ who makes us alive by His death and resurrection.
  10. The promise between God and Abraham reflects God’s relationship with all of His people, which includes the Church, and through the Church to each one of us.
  11. Abraham had a daring confidence that God would reveal a saving work to him on that mountain.
  12. God will change His attitude towards His rebellious and idolatrous people and raise them from their graves. They will be His living people once again.
