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.

The Mastery of Time

Jesus mastered time. The key is doing God's will (Joh 6:38-40). We were created for a purpose -- to accomplish what no one else could. He gives us desires (Psa 37:4). Rest is a gift when you come to Him (Mat 11:28-29). Come to Him in: 1) prayer; 2) study; 3) obedience. All of life's problems are solved by coming to Him. God's guides and allows every event so that you will come to Him. His rest is not ceasing activity, but vibrant activity. No problem can stand in the presence of Jesus Christ. What does a life that redeems the time look like? The rest of eternal life (Eph 2:8-9); the second rest is a life of fulfillment doing God's will (Eph 2:10).
