The Gospel According to Isaiah

“The Evangelist of the Old Testament
Anticipates the Coming of the Savior”
Northern Virginia Bible Conference
April 1-3, 2016
 
“The Spirit of the Lord God is upon Me, because the Lord has anointed Me to preach good tidings to the poor; He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to those who are bound.” ISA 61:1
Many scholars consider Isaiah to be the evangelist of the Old Testament. This year, the theme for the Northern Virginia BTBM Bible Conference was “The Gospel According to Isaiah.” Gene examined Isaiah’s rich prophecies given in the eighth century before the birth of Christ. There is an astounding array of passages that portray the virgin birth, the unique hypostatic union of God and man, the proclamation of John the Baptizer, and then the life of Jesus—His ministry and substitutionary death, followed by His resurrection and future glory.There are even find hints of the call and formation of the Church—the Body of Christ—and our own purpose in the story of the ages.
Jesus read the theme verse in the Synagogue in Nazareth (LUK 4:16-19) at the inauguration of His ministry.

Courage for Conflict

Stir up means to bring a fire to full flame (2Ti 1:6). Our mission is related to our gift. Uncertainty is one cause of fear (2Ti 1:7). Courage must overcome fear. 1st Timothy theme is "Fight the good fight of faith". 2nd Timothy theme "The good soldier". The internal battle (1Jo 2:15) is not the external battle (Eph 6:11-18). Paul was a great warrior; sufferings to him were a gift from God (Phi 1:29-30). Paul became a soldier by attitude and action -- lose everything for Christ (Phi 3:7-9). We have to chose to be powered by the Spirit of God (Phi 3:10-11). Paul practiced leaning on Christ (Phi 4:10-13). There's a process: 1) Learn (Phi 4:11); 2) "know how" result is result of application; 3) "Can do" (Phi 4:13). Orient to the battlefield, understand to conditions, but realize it has to be focused on Christ (2Ti 2:8, 2Ti 2:12).
