Isaiah was an Old Testament prophet and his book is considered one of the Major Prophets. The books written by the prophets in the Old Testament were classified as Major or Minor. The difference was not a distinction in importance, simply a distinction in the size of their books. The Major Prophets books were longer than the Minor Prophets. Isaiah ...
There is some debate about whether the object of this is referring to Isaiah himself or is speaking of Jesus Christ. John Gill's Commentary tells us, "According to the Targum (a Amramaic translation of hte Hebrew Bible), these are the words of the prophet concerning himself; and so say Aben Ezra and Kimchi (well-known Jewish Biblical commentators a...
When you read this passage of scripture, I believe the most amazing part is in verse 21: This was a bold and astonishing declaration and everyone in that audience was not ready to receive it. In fact, as Jesus continued speaking the people got so angry that they tried to throw him off a cliff: Now that we’ve looked at the hopeful anticipation react...
Jesus made a habit of quoting from the Old Testament scriptures. Every time he did this, he was adding validity and credibility to the Old Testament. If you remember when he was tempted in the wilderness by Satan, he quoted the Word of God, usually starting with “It is written.” At that time, the only written word of God was the Old Testament. Jesu...
We have the distinct advantage of being able to look back from a historical perspective. What we are able to do from this viewpoint is to compare Old Testament prophecieswith New Testament fulfillments, especially pointing to the first coming of Jesus. This is exactly what Jesus did when he stood and read this verse in Luke 4. It’s one important re...
This verse was a promise of hope and God’s favor. As we will soon see, Jesus reminded them of this; but the way he did it wasn’t met with great enthusiasm. What Jesus was doing, however, was pointing to himself as the hope and joy that was predicted in Isaiah 61. I know we think of this now as pretty normative; but for the people hearing this, it h...
Even though this seems like a simple reason, it’s one that can get overlooked. The reason why “the Spirit of the Lord is upon me” appears in both Testaments is because it’s true. In fact, the Bible is always true. Because it is truewe can depend on it for hope and for life. The beauty of biblical truth is that it is objective and it does not requir...
It’s important to understand, as we saw in Luke, that just because something is true doesn’t mean it will be well-received. Many times, people don’t really want to accept the truth—because it often reveals something inside of them. This is one of the challenges in sharing the gospel, people have to be confronted with the truth that they are sinners...
Regardless of people’s response to truth, that is not an excuse for not speaking it. One of the challenges in our society is we have a hard time distinguishing what is really the truth. With the myriad of voices out there, sometimes the truth gets lost in the muddle. That’s why your best bet is to always go back to the place where truth resides and...
It’s been said that the Old Testament is the New Testament concealed, and the New Testament is the Old Testament revealed. I think in these two verses in Isaiah and Luke we see just that. Isaiah points to a future that Jesus fulfills by referring back to the past in Luke. It’s one of the great ways God ties his word together—so you can have complet...
