In this passage, God lovingly reaches out to His people and invites them to sit down with Him and have a good reasoning session. God asks them a riddle, so to speak, that He wants them to think about. How is it that something as red as scarlet and crimson suddenly becomes white as snow and lamb's wool? And what does all that have to do with sin? The answer is as relevant today as it was in the days of Isaiah the prophet. God has given man a complex and magnificent brain. He expects us to use our thinking and reasoning skills when we read and study His Word. I fear that many of those who claim to be followers of Jesus don't study as they should. It's time for Christians to read, study, and think through the Bible. We need to pull ourselves away from the distractions and trinkets of life that charm us, and rediscover the wonder of God's Word. After all, the Creator, Sustainer, and Sovereign of the Universe wrote it. This book covers many portions of Scripture on a variety of different subjects. They are designed to lead you as you delve deeper into the Word for yourself and discover its limitless and timeless beauty. You can and should find your own applications in these short narratives. God is lovingly calling you to sit down with Him and reason together.
