This week I decided to focus on the Old Testament, specifically from the book of Isaiah.
Isaiah 43:1 states the following:
But now thus says the LORD, he who created you, O Jacob, he who formed you, O Israel: "Fear not, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by name, you are mine."
Several passages in Isaiah speak of a coming Messiah, one who will rise up for the Jewish people and will be a conqueror.
Christians, though, see Jesus as that Messiah; He conquered death and triumphed over sin (Granted, that's incredibly oversimplified.) just to save those that God has called to Him.
Pretty neat if you think about it.
