Isaiah – Week 16

liferoads — Mon, 21 Sep 2026 01:34:00 +0000

In ⁠Isaiah 61⁠, God promises good news for the brokenhearted, freedom for captives, comfort for those who mourn, and beauty instead of ashes. Centuries later, Jesus reads from Isaiah 61 in a synagogue and announced, “Today this Scripture has been fulfilled in your hearing.”

Isaiah’s vision is one of deep restoration. God doesn’t simply remove the signs of brokenness, He replaces them with joy, praise, strength, and a new purpose. The people who were mourning in the ashes become oaks of righteousness, rebuilders of ruined places, and priests who represent God in the world.

Jesus restores broken people and then invites restored people to join Him in His work of restoration.

When Heaven Meets Earth – Week 5

In the ninth chapter of ⁠John⁠, Jesus heals a man blind from birth. Now this man did not ask to be healed and then he was heavily questioned about the healing. His response was simple and pure, “One thing I do know, that though I was blind, now I see.” Though he was not seeking Jesus he know the truth and he boldly spoke the truth. In a way, we all carry defects from birth – sin. If you fine yourself still sitting of the side of the road in blindness, then know that Jesus is ready and willing to give you sight. Be bold and call out His name.

When Heaven Meets Earth – Week 3

We are often delayed in our appointments. How do we feel about God’s delays? On His way to heal a prominent leader’s daughter, Jesus delays to heal a woman who had been suffering for 12 years (⁠Luke 8:40-56⁠). During that delay the child died. In Jesus’ perfect timing, He gave much more than healing. They both were desperate; they both had faith, and they both needed something much more. Jesus doesn’t just heal the woman; He transfers His purity and forgives. He doesn’t just heal the young girl; He resurrects her (⁠Luke 8:49-56⁠). God gives more than we ask. He knows more than we know (⁠Ephesians 2:4-5⁠). This is what happens when heaven meets earth: recreation.

Turn and Receive Grace

A crippled man is healed through Peter and he tells the crowd, "You have put to death the author of life, but God has raised Him [so repent and receive His grace]." This is a metaphor for us, crippled and in need of His healing. Turn to His grace.
