Isaiah 49:6 “he says: ‘It is too light a thing that you should be my servant to raise up the tribes of Jacob and to bring back the preserved of Israel; I will make you as a light for the nations, that my salvation may reach to the end of the earth.’”

The Big Picture

The people of God in Isaiah’s day had a limited view of God’s salvation. They thought mainly of the twelve tribes of Israel being restored. But God had a greater plan, one that would be fulfilled by his “servant,” the Lord Jesus Christ. He would be a “light to the Gentiles” and bring a salvation that would reach to the ends of the earth. Now, we as a church are caught up in a plan that is greater than ourselves. May our hearts be captured by God’s larger story!

How To Pray

• Pray that our church would be a light in a dark world

• Pray that the light of the gospel will bring salvation around us in Pontiac & Livingston County

• Pray that God will use you wherever he has placed you to be the light of the gospel
