Isaiah 48-49

Now the focus shifts back to Israel.  These chapters show the depth of God's love for his people.  On the one hand, he loves them to much to let them go in their sin and rebellion, but on the other hand he will not let them go in captivity, he will free them.   Chapter 49 in particular has a lot of incredible imagery that shows the depths of God's love for his people.  It will be a long time before I can read 49:16 and not remember the drama Cornerstone did about the wood carver.  Read it here.
