The Trinity in the Old Testament Scriptures
My time listening to God this morning took me through the latter part of Isaiah. At the end of the 16th verse of the 48th chapter, He says, “And now the Lord God has sent me, and his Spirit.” The “me” within this context is the Servant of the Lord - the Servant whose mouth is a sharp sword (49:2) - the Servant who is a light for the nations (49:6) - the Servant who is given as a covenant to the people (49:8) - the Servant who sets the prisoners free (49:9) - that same suffering Servant who is ch. 52-53 who is despised and rejected by men - wounded for our transgressions.
The triune God is our Savior! Before the new things came to pass God announced them to us (48:5) - and then in time He did it. The Lord God sent His only begotten Son to redeem us and His Holy Spirit to regenerate us that we might behold such a Savior and cast ourselves upon Him in repentant faith.
In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit,
