Light of the Nations

Isaiah 49:1-3

By Pastor Carlyn Cole, April 14, 2024

The Servant will restore.

The Servant will be a Light.

For Further Reflection

  1. What comes to mind when you consider the glory of God?
  2. Tell of a time when you came face to face with the glory of God.
  3. Why do people move away from the glory of God to other pursuits?
  4. What encouragement is there to be gained from realizing that even governmental leaders will ‘bow down’?
  5. How difficult is it to remain faithful when deliverance seems so distant?
  6. List the ways in which we might come alongside the Servant to be a ‘Light for the Nations, Salvation to the ends of the earth’.
  7. How do you worship Him when the days seem dark?
  8. How does one ‘shout for joy’ in light of the coming Kingdom?
