Only One

Imagine walking in to an ice cream parlor, see all of those tantalizing flavors listed, but looking down to see that every single tub was filled with the exact same flavor. What would you say if the server told you that “Even though it goes by many different names it’s all the same flavor?” Think of how often folks today like to say that despite all the different names we have for Him, we all worship the same god. It certainly sounds modern. But here in Isaiah, God announces, "I am the LORD, and there is no other; apart from me there is no God." And, as it turns out, that's not a bad thing.
