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 11:1-9
Pray for God to speak to you through
the reading of His word.
Read the passage.
-
The Messiah
o
The Messiah is referred to as a
“shoot from the stump of Jesse”, and yet in v. 10 he is also referred to as the
“root of Jesse”. How can the Messiah be
both the root, and the shoot?
o
The Spirit of the Lord is present on
the Messiah. How does this presence of
the Spirit characterize itself?
o
It would seem that the Messiah will
have the ability to see more than just outward appearances. When the Messiah, Jesus Christ, looks into
your heart, what does he see?
-
The Messiah’s Reign
o
What do you think it means that
predator and prey will live together in harmony?
o
What is the symbolism of a child
leading the animals, both predator and prey?
o
What is the connection between the
cessation of all harm, and the abundance of the knowledge of the Lord?
Thank God that our Messiah is
eternal, and that the Spirit of the Lord rests upon him.
Pray that Isaiah’s dream will be
realized, that one day there will be no more harm, simply an abundance of the
knowledge of the Lord.
