Of Messiah Jesus: from Isaiah and from John
Our speakers this year will focus on Jesus, our Messiah and Lord, Mr. Davis from the prophet Isaiah and Mr. Jones from the apostle John.
Isaiah looked forward to Christ; John looked
at Christ. Isaiah anticipated a Messiah of
suffering and triumph – however dimly
understood; John heard from and gazed upon
his beloved but now crucified Master with a
consternation that only the resurrection and
Pentecost would resolve. The prophet no
doubt spoke far beyond his comprehension of
what Messiah’s coming would mean; we may
be sure the apostle turned away at last with
Jesus’ mother, dumbfounded at what they saw
at Golgotha. Their sorrow can scarcely be
imagined. The reports of both men are such
an integral part of our precious gospel.
Please tell others about the conference, offer
to bring them and then come and join us for
this year’s feast of good things as we sit at the
banquet of love that has been spread by our
Lord Jesus Christ.
