Short Reading: Isaiah 30:15-26 (
1 minute)
The human heart is so proud that it cannot bear to hear of its own sin. The message of the law is
difficult to hear. But we must heart it because it is God’s message. At the same time, God also
promises forgiveness life and salvation through Christ. What are some of the vivid ways sin is
described and ways that God’s love and forgiveness are described in this section?

new era and the king responsible for this described?
