Chosen One
“Look at my
servant, whom I strengthen. He is my Chosen One, who pleases me.
I have put my Spirit upon Him.
He will bring justice to the
nations.” Isaiah 42:1
God is the
author of an awesome non-fiction. The Bible, with its intertwined stories, development
of compelling characters, and all-central theme of restoration through His Son, reads like a novel.
