The Work of Jesus Christ

The longer I live, the more I am finding out that Jesus Christ is the answer to all our problems.

All other answers fail. Sin is a deep, dark hole that none of us can escape from. It affects us and

infects us. Isaiah 50 tells of the ways that Jesus Christ has worked to free us from the ravages of

sin, and to free us from the judgment that sinning heaps upon us. Only in Jesus can we find true

forgiveness, rest, and hope. Listen to this beautiful verse from our reading: “The Lord GOD has

given Me the tongue of the learned, that I should know how to speak a word in season to him

who is weary” ( I S A I A H 5 0 : 4 A , N K J V ) , or as the ESV words it, “…that I may know how to sustain

with a word him who is weary.” Forgiveness, rest, and hope are found in Jesus.
