Signposts To Christ From IsaiahCampione

As Christian readers, we can see in the book of Isaiah a whole lot of ‘signposts’ that point us to Jesus Christ. Though the prophet may not have understood these words as referring to Christ (1 Peter 1:10-12), the New Testament writers see connections between his words and Jesus. Isaiah speaks of a servant who is a ‘man of sorrows’.
As Christian readers it is almost impossible to read these words and not immediately think of Jesus. The gospel of John tells us that his own community did not believe but rejected Jesus (12:38).
We tend to sacralise these words of Isaiah so that they only can refer to Christ. But they were meaningful for Isaiah’s time and ours. In following Christ we can risk rejection and sorrow. But in this suffering we can find meaning and joy.
Question: Have you ever experienced grief and sorrow for our faith?

Throughout the Old Testament we can see signposts that point us to Jesus Christ. The book of Isaiah offers numerous such signposts. Reading Isaiah through the eyes of the New Testament can give us new insights into the life of Jesus, and also to the life of discipleship to which we are called.
