Love This Book - Part 2Sample

Week 21: This week, we will read about the promise of the new King, the Messiah. However, the plot takes an unexpected turn as the character of the Anointed One is revealed. Through the Servant Songs in the Book of Isaiah, we see a suffering servant king, perhaps not what we imagine when we first think of royalty. We will also meet Malchizedek, a priest king who mirrors the coming Messiah. While these passages display the hope of the Hebrew people for an earthly king, the prophecies foreshadow a revolutionary reign to come.
