Isaiah pt. 33: Kindness and Vengeance - Paul Callan - 09/06/24

This is the first of a two-part conclusion to our Isaiah series. In the closing chapters of Isaiah, we find God's "Endgame" - a dramatic foretelling of the final victory of God over evil and the establishment of his kingdom. Isaiah expected this to happen in one single great event, but the unexpected "twist" was that the kingdom, which burst into the world through the cross and resurrection of Jesus, will only be finally consummated when Jesus returns. Meanwhile, you live in an "unfinished story" in the overlap of two "ages". Victory is assured, but God is using the interim to shape you and to use you to help implement the victory of his cross in lives and communities, whilst awaiting the triumphant and decisive return of Christ when he will sweep away the old age for ever.
