Isaiah 50 “Israel’s sin and the servant’s obedience”

“Because of your sins you were sold; because of your transgressions your mother was sent away. When I came, why was there no one? When I called, why was there no one to answer?” sometimes, we pay a high price for all our sins. Our sins do have a great negative impact on our lives, whether you like it or not. Our sins are stained by guilt and blood, only Jesus’ blood can set us free from our sin-ridden life. In the past, sacrifices had to be made because they had to use “animal blood” to redeem their sins. BUT now, Jesus has already died on the cross to set us free from all our sins, and now we are saved by the blood of Jesus. We are sinners saved by grace, and we can draw nearer to the lord as our sins and already cleansed by Jesus- the son of God.

“When I came, why was there no one? When I called, why was there no one to answer?” When God called out to us, we ignore and DAO him. When he called us to do something, we turned his back against him and refused to listen to his orders. The lord is being ignored, despised and looked down upon. The people of the lord disobeyed him and insisted on going their own ways. When the lord needs us to accomplish great things for him, we walk away, refusing to do what the lord has called us to do.

“Let him who walks in the dark, which has no light, trust in the name of the lord and rely on his God.” let us turn away from all that is undesirable, and unpleasing to the lord, and turn to righteousness—the lord. Walk right with God and ensure that your spiritual life is HOLY and PURE unto the lord, that we are not to sin against the lord.

Normally, we like to choose the easier path to go to, to choose to bow down to sin. We think that by following our own desires and pleasures, no one can stop us. But, we know that it is not right and that the lord knows everything that we’re doing. He tried all ways to stop us from committing the sin, but we being the weak and powerless, we just had to succumb to temptation.

Finally, we come back to the lord to ask for forgiveness, we know that we’ve done wrong as we have do things that are not pleasing to the lord. It may be a small teeny weensy sin that you have committed, but a small sin is like a black dot in a big white cloth. The small black dot has dirtied and spoilt the big white cloth no matter how big the dot is. The white cloth is no longer PURELY white and it’s therefore considered a dirty and SPOILT cloth. This is the case with sin, whereby no matter who big or small your sins are, it’s still a sin. You can never change the fact that you have committed a sin! It’s already recorded in the book of JUSTICE. We just know that once we sinned against the lord, we’ve got to kneel in front of the lord to ask for forgiveness so that the blood of Jesus can once again cleansed our sins, and that we can be renewed with a new surge of grace and mercy once more.
