“Come now, and let us reason together,” says the Lord, “though your sins are as scarlet, they will be as white as snow; though they are red like crimson, they will be like wool.” Isaiah 1:18
The Ministry of the Prophets of Israel was to declare the Word of God to His People; mainly in the form of Judgement and Doom because of their lives of Idolatry and compromise. But here, at the beginning of Isaiah, comes a Plea of Hope and Blessing; a Prayer of Mercy and Grace. The Gospel!
This same message comes to us today. As we falter, as we fail, as we stumble, it comes to us with a Promise, by God Himself; that there is still Forgiveness to be found. The Creator, the Judge, the King, stoops down in Amazing Condescension, and says “let us reason together”. May we all take hold of that Offer today!
