Today's Verse: Isaiah 54:13 (ESV)

yAll your children zshall be taught by the Lord,
aand great shall be the peace of your children.

y Cited John 6:45
z Jer. 31:33, 34
a [ch. 9:7; Ps. 119:165]


In this section, Isaiah is talking about the Eternal Covenant of Peace. It is the children of those in exile who will be restored to God.

Today's Comments: Isaiah's prophesy does not promise a bed of roses. In restoring Israel, God offers us a covenant of peace through belief in Jesus Christ. Jesus is the bread of life, and we must accept Him in order to participate in that covenant. With His grace, we must forsake our wicked ways and submit to His rule in our hearts. Thus, we must make a moral choice: follow Christ or follow the world.
