Part of the passage Chad looks at says;  “I am the Lord; I have called you in righteousness;     I will take you by the hand and keep you; I will give you as a covenant for the people,     a light for the nations,     to open the eyes that are blind, to bring out the prisoners from the dungeon,     from the prison those who sit in darkness. I am the Lord; that is my name;     my glory I give to no other,     nor my praise to carved idols. Behold, the former things have come to pass,     and new things I now declare; before they spring forth     I tell you of them.” This is what our minds should dwell on. The beautiful love and mercy that has come for us and called us by name. Chad has an encouraging word for us and Markita Knight sings a beautiful song entitled "Behold".

Thus says the Lord Thus says our God Behold Jesus

Once again we meditate on an Old Testament passage that is all about Jesus Christ. When we read " 5  The Lord God has opened my ear,     and I was not rebellious;     I turned not backward. 6  I gave my back to those who strike,     and my cheeks to those who pull out the beard; I hid not my face     from disgrace and spitting. 7  But the Lord God helps me;     therefore I have not been disgraced; therefore I have set my face like a flint,     and I know that I shall not be put to shame." We realize that Christ humbled Himself in so many ways, even giving His cheeks to His tormentors. Chad meditates on this and the meaning of "Word of the Father". Lynn sings "Step by Step".

With every step guiding me   Word of the Father You speak to me You offered Yourself For Your enemies   Morning by morning Awaken me I pray Not by my own light And not in my own way   Lord you will help me With every step, every hour Day by day With every step, every hour Day by day You are the Word     You didn't hide Your face From hate and disgrace You brought light to the darkness To the whole human race   Word of the Father You speak to me You offered Yourself For Your enemies   Morning by morning Awaken me I pray Not by my own light And not in my own way   Lord you will help me With every step, every hour Day by day With every step, every hour Day by day You are the Word   You gave Your back to those who strike,     and Your cheeks to those who pulled out Your beard; You did not hide Your face You did not hide Your face     from all of this disgrace   You sustain me and remain with a word All who are weary And Your sacrifice was not in vain You carried all our shame I hope in Your name The name without shame The mighty name of Jesus You are the Word  

Only God sees the whole story, and the backstory from every angle, and only God is qualified to judge us. We may judge others and ourselves much too harshly, or we may not care enough to speak up when someone is in need of guidance. in Psalm 98 we see the whole earth become animated and rejoice because God is coming to judge, and He will get it right.

The day is soon coming when all of our earthly life will seem like a distant breath, though certainly today has plenty of blessings, and also concerns. Our hearts our prone to wander, and cling fast to earthly attachments which only distract us from the riches we already have received in Christ. Scripture echoes itself throughout the old and new testament, and this beautiful chapter of Isaiah is a good example of  "great things" restated. Chad lays this out for us in ways that is sure to encourage us along our journey. Izzi Ray beautifully sings "And In That Day".  Show Notes: Support 1517 Podcast Network 1517 Podcasts 1517 on Youtube 1517 Podcast Network on Apple Podcasts 1517 Events Schedule 1517 Academy - Free Theological Education What's New from 1517: The Impossible Prize: A Theology of Addiction by Donavan Riley Ditching the Checklist by Mark Mattes Broken Bonds: A Novel of the Reformation, Book 1 of 2 by Amy Mantravadi More from the hosts: Chad Bird   Lyrics to "And In That Day" And in that day I will say  Praise the Lord And in that day I will sing The song of Your word   Though You were angry Still you entered my soul Drew up the waters And made me whole   Chorus: My good Shepherd My salvation I will not be afraid I will not be afraid My Good Shepherd I belong to You Body and soul Forever Body and soul   And in that day, I'll3   want for nought No need to fear Cause You are my strength You are the light Holy and pure     Though You were angry Still you entered my soul Drew up the waters And made me whole   Chorus: Good Shepherd My salvation I will not be afraid I will not be afraid Good Shepherd I belong to You Body and soul Forever     Bridge: I will sing your song in the night of sorrows My loving guide Every step of the way I will not be afraid Good Shepherd I belong to You

Everything seems right - God has planted a vineyard and tended it, but then bad, stinky fruit emerges. What has happened? How can we make things right? Chad gives another encouraging lesson and meditation on this passage, helping us to trust fully in the work of God. Even if we are plowed up and torn apart for a season, perhaps He is accomplishing the good that He wants for us, the good we cannot do for ourselves. Bryan Duncan and guitarist Kid Ramos team up on this song that speaks of God cultivating beauty from the wasteland.  Show Notes: Support 1517 Podcast Network 1517 Podcasts 1517 on Youtube 1517 Podcast Network on Apple Podcasts 1517 Events Schedule 1517 Academy - Free Theological Education What's New from 1517: The Impossible Prize: A Theology of Addiction by Donavan Riley Ditching the Checklist by Mark Mattes Broken Bonds: A Novel of the Reformation, Book 1 of 2 by Amy Mantravadi More from the hosts: Chad Bird Lyrics for Beauty from the Wasteland My life is a wasteland Trampled and broken down Briars and thorns are everywhere In this dry and thirsty ground I give to You my land Plant your vines in my soil Spirit do Your work in me Lord Jesus, make me whole   Chorus You bring life from death And beauty for ashes Forgiveness for my sins All that I bring to You is dust and sand But You   cultivate the beauty Beauty from the wasteland   Don't let me be satisfied With wild grapes in this  land  Don't let me choke from the weeds  Won't You prune me by your hand Pour down the rain of your Spirit Stream  the sunlight of Your Word Cause me to root and blossom  Let my soul be undisturbed    Chorus You bring life from death And beauty for ashes Forgiveness for my sins All that I bring to You is dust and sand But You cultivate the beauty Beauty from the wasteland   I will sing for the one I love For the one I love is You  

In you, O Lord, do I take refuge;     let me never be put to shame! In your righteousness deliver me and rescue me;     incline your ear to me, and save me! Be to me a rock of refuge,     to which I may continually come; you have given the command to save me,     for you are my rock and my fortress. Rescue me, O my God, from the hand of the wicked,     from the grasp of the unjust and cruel man. For you, O Lord, are my hope,     my trust, O Lord, from my youth. Upon you I have leaned from before my birth;     you are he who took me from my mother's womb. My praise is continually of you. I have been as a portent to many,     but you are my strong refuge. My mouth is filled with your praise,     and with your glory all the day. Do not cast me off in the time of old age;     forsake me not when my strength is spent. For my enemies speak concerning me;     those who watch for my life consult together and say, “God has forsaken him;     pursue and seize him,     for there is none to deliver him.” O God, be not far from me;     O my God, make haste to help me! May my accusers be put to shame and consumed;     with scorn and disgrace may they be covered     who seek my hurt. But I will hope continually     and will praise you yet more and more. My mouth will tell of your righteous acts,     of your deeds of salvation all the day,     for their number is past my knowledge. With the mighty deeds of the Lord God I will come;     I will remind them of your righteousness, yours alone. O God, from my youth you have taught me,     and I still proclaim your wondrous deeds. So even to old age and gray hairs,     O God, do not forsake me, until I proclaim your might to another generation,     your power to all those to come. Your righteousness, O God,     reaches the high heavens. You who have done great things,     O God, who is like you? You who have made me see many troubles and calamities     will revive me again; from the depths of the earth     you will bring me up again. You will increase my greatness     and comfort me again. I will also praise you with the harp     for your faithfulness, O my God; I will sing praises to you with the lyre,     O Holy One of Israel. My lips will shout for joy,     when I sing praises to you;     my soul also, which you have redeemed. And my tongue will talk of your righteous help all the day long, for they have been put to shame and disappointed     who sought to do me hurt. Do you see the Lord Jesus Christ in this Psalm? Plain as day. Readers of "the Christ Key" by Chad Bird can spot this writing all over the Old Testament. We give thanks this holy weekend, that we have a Deliverer, and Advocate and King in Jesus Christ. To Him be glory forever and ever.

 Put me like a seal over your heart For you know this love is true 
Put me like a seal on your arm
 I've got jealous love for you Now I will arise and go about the city Through the streets and in the square I will search for the one my soul loves So I looked for him but did not find him there I was born for you I lived for you I died for you, and rose again for you I will return for you, my love  Put me like a seal over your heart
 You are like a lily among the thorns Put me like a seal on your arm How beautiful you are in all your charms 
O my dove in the clefts of the rock In the secret place of the steep pathway 
Show me your face let me hear your voice For your voice is sweet and your face lovely I came down for you I died for you I rose again, and intercede for you I will return for you, my love 
Put me like a seal over your heart
 Who is this that grows like the dawn
 Put me like a seal on your arm
 Beauty of the moon pure as the sun 
Put me like a seal over your heart For you know this love is true Put me like a seal on your arm 
I've got jealous love for you

"Better than I deserve" is a statement rich with meaning for those of us who have heard the good news and believed on the Lord Jesus Christ. This week's podcast finds us in chapter 6 of Song of Songs, caught up in a romantic dream come true. The analogy is pretty obvious; we are so loved by God, and God considers us His "body" on earth. Every part of the body has worth and Chad beautifully unpacks this encouraging passage. Izzi Ray sings "How Beautiful You Are".

That we are the "bride of Christ", this thought can get us confused and uneasy, as in "why would He want to have anything to do with me?" Chad once again meditates on these encouraging scriptures. When we are in trouble, we cling to God's love. As this episode is being uploaded, our beloved Lutheran brother Kris Lewis lies in a coma in California after suffering a severe stroke. If our faith left out the glorious love of the Bridegrrom, the lover of our soul, we would give in to despair. But no, we are loved now and  into eternity, and loved so deeply that God would call us His bride. We cannot lose, when are hope is in Christ. The talented Marvelle Figueroa sings "My Perfect One".

We live in a world that has so grossly perverted the idea of love, so its easy to avoid thinking about God's love for us, because that could be a little gross and uncomfortable.
