Faithful To Save

Isaiah 49:1-7
Have you ever wondered if God has given up on you in your place of sin? Have you ever wondered if this time you strayed too far, crossed that irreversible line where even the grace of God cannot reach you?
Undoubtedly, this is the question being asked by the people of God in the place of exile. As foreigners in a foreign land, there was much uncertainty about what the future held. Was God still committed to keeping His end of the covenant when they had so badly failed to keep theirs?
As is so often the case, a word from the Lord enters the most barren, desolate of places and breathes forth new hope where despair once reigned. In this place that seemed beyond the reach of grace, God promises to raise up a servant who would bring salvation and restoration to His people. Redemption is coming and not just for Israel, but for all people.
Through this humble and righteous servant, not only does God reveal His continued commitment to Israel, but God continues in His mission of drawing all humanity back to God.
