SEPTEMBER 28, Isaiah 55:1-2

Here, the prophet looks beyond Israel to the whole world, from one to all. This is the Gospel invitation to everyone who despairs of the futility of life without God, who begins to thirst and yearn after Him.

The Gospel is the good news of the Saviour Jesus Christ. He is the living water that gives everlasting life (John 4:14). From Him comes “the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby:” (1 Peter 2:2). He is the Bread of life, “which cometh down from heaven, that a man may eat thereof, and not die” ( John 6:50). The Lord Jesus offered Himself as a sacrifice for us freely and our salvation is priceless; it cannot be bought with money.

Spiritually, to hearken diligently and eat that which is good is surely to hear the Word of God with our ears. When the Word of God is taught to you, do you listen carefully and thank God for His love and His goodness? That is to “eat that which is good”.

In this chapter of Isaiah, the precious gospel of the love of the Saviour for sinners is also known as:

1. _______________ for the thirsty.

2. _______________ for the poor.

3. _______________ and milk for those without money.

4. Wine and _______________ that are priceless.

5. _______________ that satisfies your hunger.

Thought: Men need the gospel, like they need water and food.

Prayer: Heavenly Father, thank You for Your grace and love that gives us Thy priceless Gospel, which is more than meat and drink to us. In Jesus' name I pray, Amen.
