Week 1: The Messiah Heals · May 13

Read Isaiah 35:3-7

³ Strengthen the feeble hands,

    steady the knees that give way;

⁴ say to those with fearful hearts,

    “Be strong, do not fear;

your God will come,

    he will come with vengeance;

with divine retribution

    he will come to save you.”

⁵ Then will the eyes of the blind be opened

    and the ears of the deaf unstopped.

⁶ Then will the lame leap like a deer,

    and the mute tongue shout for joy.

Water will gush forth in the wilderness

    and streams in the desert.

⁷ The burning sand will become a pool,

    the thirsty ground bubbling springs.

In the haunts where jackals once lay,

    grass and reeds and papyrus will grow.
