Isaiah 52:1-6

Wake up! That's what God tells his people in our reading today from Isaiah 52:1-6. His people were lulled to sleep spiritually, thinking that God had left them, that God's promises were not going to come true, and that there was no hope for them anymore. But God sends Isaiah to wake his people up. To help them see that to be hopeless as a Christian is to be out of touch with reality. He would come to rescue and redeem them. He would come to give them a hope and a future.
