Introducing... Isaiah
This is the first session from a sermon series I helped produce on the book of Isaiah.
I love Isaiah! As far as I’m concerned it is the fulcrum upon which the whole of scripture turns. It stands at the centre of our Bible, connecting the history of the Old Testament to the promise of the New. Isaiah helps us to understand who Jesus was, why Jesus needed to come, and what Jesus was going with his life, death and resurrection. No wonder it is the most quoted text by the writers of the New Testament!
This sermon provides some insight into what Isaiah exists for as a text, and spells out the ways in which it resembles a bit of a court room drama. I’m grateful this is only an audio recording, because I don’t want the internet to remember the judges wig I wore during the dramatised reading…
