The Work of God’s Messengers
Read for This Week’s Lesson
; ; Isaiah 53; ; .
Memory Verse “Then I heard the voice of the Lord God. He said, ‘Is there anyone that I can send with my message? Who will go on our behalf [who will go for us]?’ I said, ‘I am here. Send me!’ ” (, EASY).
In Bible times, God’s messengers often had an important part in the history of God’s people. Sometimes God’s messengers served as powerful members of the community of faith.
The life of God’s messengers was often hard. Many people misunderstood their work or rejected it. So, God’s messengers felt sad or upset. Often, God’s messengers didn’t accept the work that He gave them right away. And no wonder. Many people refused to accept their messages. Often people paid no attention to God’s messengers. People made fun of them, beat them, or threw them in jail. Some messengers were killed with stones or hunted the same as wild animals. Many messengers died for their faith.
Today, we also live in a time when many people reject God’s messengers or pay no attention to their words. God asks us to follow the advice of His messengers anyway. God also asks us to share with people the hope that His messages give us. This week, we’ll look at times when God sent His messengers to His people. God’s messengers invited God’s people to come back to Him and to follow Bible truth.
