Isaiah’s Prophecy About the Promised Savior

Listen to: Isaiah’s Prophecy About the Promised Savior:

“The people eagerly waited for this Promised Savior.”

Reflect

Without hope, our outlook is dim. It’s easy to fixate on the disheartening news that comes at us from every direction.

We hope for a better world and a fulfilling life, one that includes joy, peace, forgiveness, comfort, and healing. When the prophet Isaiah told of the coming Promised Savior, he revealed all that the Promised Savior would do for us, even at a great cost to Himself.

Isaiah describes the impact on the world of the coming Promised Savior. We can experience hope when we focus on all we have in Christ.
