The Vineyard- December 1, 2013

The Vineyard
I am the vine; you are the branches. Whoever abides in me and I in him, he it is that bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing. – John 15:5

Isaiah 35:1-10
Pray for God to speak to you through the reading of His word. 
Read the passage. 
-          Redeeming of Creation
o   How are creation and humanity tied together?
o   What imagery is used to refer to the transformation of creation?
-          Redemption of Humanity
o   What imagery is used to describe the physical redemption of humanity?
o   How is the physical and spiritual state of humanity tied together?
o   Who is the source of humanity’s renewed strength?
-          The Highway of Holiness
o   Who is described as not being allowed to walk the highway of holiness?
o   How is the highway of holiness described?  What is noticeably absent?
o   What characterizes the behavior of humanity as they walk this highway?
Thank God for our Messiah, who makes possible our redemption, as well as the redemption of our world. 
Thank God for his grace, which makes it possible for us to travel the “highway of holiness”.
