The Servant Songs of Isaiah - Song 3 (Isaiah 50)

David Binns moves on to the third of the Servant Songs in Isaiah. He considers again who the ‘mystery guest’ of Isaiah is and goes on to explore the comparison Isaiah makes between the servant, reliant on and obedient to God; and independent, rebellious Israel. This leads us to a conclusion that there is a choice to be made, obedience or rebellion, God’s way or your way, heaven or hell, life or death. As Moses said ‘Now choose life.’

 

The reading is Isaiah 50:4-11
