1. The outstanding feature of the profile of Isaiah that we find in the book that bears his name is his role as evangelist of the Old Testament. To him the LORD revealed the person and work of Christ. Write about how Christ fulfilled the prophecies in the following references from Isaiah and what they have to do with His work as our Savior from sin.
Isaiah Passages:
7:14 (Matthew 1:22, 23), 9:6 (Luke 2:11; Ephesians 2:14-18), 11:1 (Acts 13:22, 23)
11:2 (Luke 3:22), 28:16 (1 Peter 2:4-6), 42:1-4 (Matthew 12:15-21), 50:6 (Matthew 26:67; 27:26, 30), 53:3 (Luke 23:18; John 1:11; 7:5), 53:4, 5 (Romans 5:6, 8),
53:7 (Matthew 27:12-14; John 1:29; 1 Peter 1:18, 19), 53:9 (Matthew 27:57-60),
53:12 (Mark 15:28), 61:1, 2 (Luke 4:17-19, 21)
2. Isaiah 1:1 records that the prophet had an extraordinarily long career, serving during the reigns of four kings of Judah. Write about the span of time that God has given to you. What blessings has He given you? What trials has He brought you through?
3. Most of us are not called to influence kings as Isaiah was. But think about those in your circle of family and friends that could yet be blessed with words of Scriptural guidance, comfort, and encouragement from you. Write a prayer for God’s help.
