Week 137, Day 1: Healed
Today’s Reading: Isaiah 35:1-10
Some thoughts from today’s reading…
Verses 4-6 are good for illustrating how Isaiah gave many prophecies that were ultimately fulfilled in the Messiah. Isaiah tells them to look forward to the time when the Lord would save them. He would heal the blind, the deaf, the lame and the mute. This is the response that Jesus quoted this passage when the disciples came from John and asked if He was the expected one or should they look for another (Luke 7:20-23). The Lord would cause things to be renewed and for there to be a “highway of holiness” (vs. 8 ) upon which the redeemed would walk. Isaiah was speaking of an event that would come several hundred years off in the future though.
