Sermon – Salvation for the World: Comfort for the World (Is 50:4-51:16, 52:7-10)

Read the text – Isaiah 50:4-51:16, Isaiah 52:7-10

For the sermon series, ‘Will God help is People?’, we have been discussing what Isaiah says on Christian Hardship. Ken Noakes reminds us that Jesus knows our pain. His arms are a picture of suffering, yet with those arms he will gather in the nations, break the chains of the oppressor, and gently comfort all who come to him.

Sermon – Salvation for the World: Saviour for the World (Is 49:1-26)

Read the text – Isaiah 49:1-26

For the sermon series, ‘Will God help is People?’, we have been discussing what Isaiah says on Christian Hardship, but did Jesus himself find hardship? Ken Noakes tells us that God’s global salvation comes through the suffering servant—Jesus, the true Israel—who speaks with divine authority, endures rejection, and brings light not just to God’s people, but to the ends of the earth. We need to see the goodness and power of Jesus as the one who speaks God’s word like a sharpened sword (Rev 1), who is a covenant between God and people, and who suffers as he brings salvation to the world.
