Isaiah 43:1-19
Key Verse 43:19
Read verses 1-3a and think about the exhortation “fear not”. What does this exhortation indicate about the (inner) condition of the audience? Why is it important [for a God’s child] “not” to fear? On what basis does the Lord say, “You are mine”? Why should this be the basis for God’s children not to be afraid of harm and danger?
Read verses 3b-8. What does “I will give men in exchange for you (or your life)” mean? What does this passage tell us about the purpose of the Lord’s calling?
Read verses 9-13. In what respect is the Lord different from all others? Who are the witnesses of this unique aspect of the Lord?
Read verses 14-19. What do “the former things” refer to? Why is it important for God’s children to forget the former things? Instead, what should they think about?
