Sunday, December 29
Reading: Isaiah 51 (
5 minutes)
Short Reading: Isaiah 51:7-16 (
1 minute)
This chapter is filled with the Lord’s encouragement and reassurance for his faithful. So often the
faithful don’t see triumph. Instead their lives are filled with trouble and defeat. How does the Lord
encourage them / us in this chapter?
Monday, December 30
Reading: Isaiah 52-53 (
5 minutes)
Short Reading: Isaiah 53:1-6 (
1 minute)
Isaiah 52:13- Isaiah 53:12 shares yet another “Servant Song” of the Lord’s Servant. Pay attention to
what the Suffering Servant willingly did on our behalf by taking note of the pronouns. They tell the
story of the gospel message! He was pierced for our transgressions. What love!
