On today’s podcast, TGC president Don Carson shares thoughts on how to understand the prophecies in Isaiah that point to the promised Messiah, Jesus Christ.
- Isaiah gives us a spectacular expectation of a Davidic king (Isa. 9).
- Isaiah introduces us to the term “Immanuel” (Isa. 7:14).
- Isaiah introduces us to the Suffering Servant (Isa. 52:13–53:12).
- Isaiah promises a new heaven and new earth (Isa. 65:17).
- Isaiah looks forward to the ultimate freedom from exile brought about by the salvation we have in Christ Jesus.
- Isaiah promises a branch from the stump of Jesse, signaling hope after God’s judgment (Isa. 11).
Free eBook by Tim Keller: ‘The Freedom of Self-Forgetfulness’
Imagine a life where you don’t feel inadequate, easily offended, desperate to prove yourself, or endlessly preoccupied with how you look to others. Imagine relishing, not resenting, the success of others. Living this way isn’t far-fetched. It’s actually guaranteed to believers, as they learn to receive God’s approval, rather than striving to earn it.
In Tim Keller’s short ebook, The Freedom of Self-Forgetfulness: The Path To True Christian Joy, he explains how to overcome the toxic tendencies of our age一not by diluting biblical truth or denying our differences一but by rooting our identity in Christ.
TGC is offering this Keller resource for free, so you can discover the “blessed rest” that only self-forgetfulness brings.
