Isaiah 56-61

• Salvation for everybody (56:1-6)
• Saying the religious leaders (Pharisees?) are not doing what they are supposed to do (v10-12)

• There is no peace," says my God, "for the wicked." (57:21)

• God looks at the heart. Although they fast, It's for their own personal benefit (58:3-4)
• I don't understand this fasting thing (v6)
• But if the heart is right, then God promise he will be there (v9-11)

• People usually blame God for not being there (59:1), but really, it is because they want to go their own way (sin), they have chosen to hide God away. (v2)
• Is this a description of Jesus showing us he is the only one interceding and brings us salvation? (v15b-21)

• Jesus is described as the light over darkness (60:2-3)
• The 3 wise men (v6)

• These are all things that Jesus has fulfilled. (61:1-2)
