What does it all mean?


Sometimes, as we read the Bible, it’s hard to wrap our minds around it and make sense of it all. But as we look closely at the entirety of the Bible, we can see that God has a plan for our salvation throughout every page.

The book of Isaiah was penned hundreds of years before Jesus came to earth, and it stands as a testament to God’s overarching plan for our lives today. The arrival of Jesus was not a spur-of-the-moment decision; God had a plan for our salvation all along.

Isaiah prophesied Jesus’ death in graphic detail, hundreds of years before the actual crucifixion took place. He described Jesus as a lamb, which is exactly what Jesus became when He was sacrificed for our sins. God fulfilled His perfect plan at the perfect time.

Since God took such painstaking time to fulfill his plan, it must be a plan worth trusting. When you see the details in all that God has done and said, use that to build your trust in Him. Don’t miss the genius of his master plan. Instead, realize that God’s plan throughout Scripture continues in your life today. And in His perfect time, he will take you where he wants you to go.
