Search - Isaiah: Discipleship Lessons from the Fifth Gospel

Isaiah Discipleship Lessons from the Fifth Gospel
Author: Ralph F. Wilson

The Prophet Isaiah's words inspire us with their beautiful cadences and lofty heights. They confront us with thoughtful rebukes and correction. Isaiah is the source of nearly one quarter of the Old Testament quotations and allusions cited in the New Testament. In sheer size, it is second only to the Book of Psalms in length. Most important, Is... more »aiah gives us a unique understanding of Jesus the Messiah, who fulfills many of these prophecies given 700 years before his birth. For this reason Isaiah is sometimes called the "Fifth Gospel." Isaiah is considered one of the literary gems of the ancient world. Here is the apex of Hebrew poetic style, brilliant imagery, and the whole range of human emotion. Some of the passages you may recall include: ? "Though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow" (1:18) ? "Here I am, send me." (6:1-8) ? "Unto us a child is born...." (9:2-7) ? "The wolf will live with the lamb ... and a little child shall lead them." (11:1-9) ? "And a highway will be there; it will be called the Way of Holiness." (35:1-10) ? "Comfort, comfort my people...." (40:1-31) ? "They that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength" (40:31) ? "The Lord has laid on him the iniquity of us all." (52:13-53:12) ? "Come, all you who are thirsty...." (55:1-12) ? "The Spirit of the Lord is upon me...." (61:1-11) Isaiah is challenging and enriching, but also long and complex. Therefore, this volume is designed to be a guide to studying Isaiah's prophecies, not a verse-by-verse commentary. We'll move quickly over passages less relevant to our day, but focus in some detail on passages that teach about the Messiah and God's universal truths that speak to us across the ages. This volume covers Isaiah eleven lessons, and includes 13 maps to clarify the historical setting. Classes and small groups will find this a helpful curriculum guide, with links to free participant handouts, as well as thorough preparation for the leader. Thought-provoking questions will stimulate many profound discussions -- though groups may want to follow a 17-week track to thoroughly discuss these truths. The heavily-footnoted lessons provide most of the research that preachers and teachers will need for their task. At the same time, the lessons inspire and challenge the individual reader to grow as a disciple of Christ.
