#soap # Isaiah 55 ## Title: It’s Our Turn ## Scripture: (Isaiah 55:6) “Seek the Lord while he makes himself available; call to him while he is nearby!” (NET) ## Observation: Isaiah is saying this to a nation that he is continually calling back to God. He is saying they need to come back to God over and over. If we are not careful, we think of Christianity as a passive pursuit. We are taught that we cannot save ourselves so we must come to Jesus and accept His sacrifice for our sins. This is all true, however we cannot miss the point that we must come to Jesus. Christianity is not like a spa. In a spa, the goal is to lie still and let others pamper you. Christianity is not like that. It’s more like a hospital. There is healing available, but we have to go get it. Christ has already come to us. It is our turn to continually come to Him. ## Application: Take a step toward Jesus. ## Prayer: Thank You, Jesus, for always welcoming us.
