The Message and the Mission
“Behold your God!” On the heels of the announcement of Jerusalem’s impending doom and exile, Isaiah’s exhortation was startling. How could God’s people find comfort after such a calamitous prediction? As Alistair Begg points out, to truly appreciate the Lord’s assurance of salvation, we must first understand the reality of His judgment. Although life is frail and brief, God’s provision in Christ is eternal and infallible. Even after thousands of years and significant world changes, proclaiming God’s Word remains every Christian’s mission.
