The Nations Will Rally

Introduction

Read Isaiah 11:1-10

What are we to hear from Isaiah?

Central to the story of God is his desire to draw all nations to himself.

Some basic explanation of Isaiah 11:1-10

Abraham, Exodus, Solomon, Jonah, Revelation

The culmination of that story comes in the life of Jesus. (v.1-5)

Peace Child

He’s the one who undoes the fall; he crushes the serpents’ head

Now God’s worshippers can multiply again, to fill the earth

The conclusion to that story has not yet come. (v. 6-12)

1/3 of us

What is a Jesus?

Maybe not “why do some never hear?” but “why do some never speak?”

Conclusion

God is redeeming for himself a people from among all peoples.

What does this mean for us?

We rally to Jesus among the rest of God’s people.

We join God in his work fill the Earth with the knowledge of his glory.
