Awaiting His Salvific power with Joy – Isaiah 12:1-6

December 12, 2024

Pastor Hans Peters

In Isaiah 12:1-6 we find a message of joy. If we compare Isaiah 12, this song of Joy, with Psalm 30 where we find a psalm of trust and then if we compare those songs to John the Baptist's message, we realize that to have JOY, that profound abundant JOY that only comes from God, we come to realize that it all starts with repentance. For us to follow Jesus means more than saying the right words; it means acting on what he says. Many of John the Baptist's hearers were shocked when he said that being Abraham’s descendants was not enough to ensure salvation. In today’s world, in our world that means that we cannot rely on someone else’s faith for our salvation. What changes can you make during this time of waiting and what might you share?
