Seventh Sunday after Epiphany

Preaching And Reading The Old Testament Lessons
With an Eye to the New
A portion of this passage, namely verses 16--21, is also treated on the Fifth Sunday in Lent in Cycle C. Here we will take a different approach.
Verses 18 through 25 are part of the longer poem by Second Isaiah that is found in 43:14-44:15. It is therefore incumbent on the preacher that they be treated within their context. They form part of the message that Second Isaiah delivered to his compatriots in Babylonian exile, sometime after 550 B.C.
