Printed Text: Isaiah 25:6-10a

UNIFYING LESSON PRINCIPLE:

Oppressed people are always looking for relief from their injustices. Who will deliver them?

Isaiah’s prophecy revealed that the sovereign God would give deliverance from oppression.

CONCLUDING REFLECTION:

One of the debilitating impacts of oppression is the dehumanization of people, who are created in the very image of God. By its very definition, to “dehumanize” human beings is to treat them as though they were nonexistent, to ignore their presence, and to discount them by not recognizing them as part of the human family.

The lesson reinforces the hope of all believers that in a world where it seems that the rich and powerful always win, God still has the final word. The evidences of such sovereign rule are Calvary and the empty tomb.

PRAYER:

Heavenly Father, grant Your servants the resolve to become both proponents and participants in the struggle for liberation from oppression. May we never dismiss our responsibility to always serve Your interests. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.
