Nest Class: April 19th @ Teresa Vincent's home 7pm
The subject discussed in March was “Messianic Isaiah”. Melissa
emphasized that Isaiah taught and prophesied of the pre-mortal, mortal and
millennial mission of Jesus Christ.
The Jews did not understand the
messianic message, and missed completely the great blessings from comprehending
these teachings that could have pointed them to Christ. Our advantage today to have the Book of
Mormon as a companion study of much of Isaiah helps us to see how inspired,
intelligent and instructive Isaiah was in testifying of the Savior of the
world.
Jeffrey
R Holland has said: “Isaiah is by every standard the messianic prophet of the Old Testament
and as such is the most penetrating prophetic voice in that record.”
Many
people love and quote Isaiah
53
because of its moving testimony of the mission of Jesus Christ. This chapter contains
Isaiah’s prophecy of a Messiah who would save His people, not by the sword and
war, but through humble suffering.
Isaiah’s layered verses can teach us of Jesus Christ more in depth than
any other prophet.
