THE BRANCH OF THE LORD

Date : Sep 30, 2017
Passage : Isaiah 3:16~4:6
Keyverse : 4:2

1. The women of Zion are haughty (3:16-4:1)

The women of Zion wanted to make themselves attractive to men. They dressed and made themselves up in the latest fashions, but they were not attractive to the Lord. They did not seek him. The Lord would take away their beauty and comfort. In the Lord's day they would fall into disgrace with no one to help them.

2. The Branch of the Lord (4:2-6)

The hope of all people is the beauty and glory of the Branch of the Lord. Isaiah prophesied of the one who would wash away the sins of his people and cleanse his people by a spirit of judgment and a spirit of fire. At the time when Isaiah could only see the spiritual poverty of his people, he saw the Branch of the Lord. He saw the day when God's people would come before to take shelter and refuge in the Branch of the Lord.


Application: Lord, thank you for the hope of cleansing and forgiveness through the Branch of the Lord. Help me to hold this as my sure hope.
One Word: The Branch of the Lord is glorious
