For the past several days, we've been looking at the kingdom that our Lord will establish one day. Today, in our study of Isaiah 55, we'll see that as amazing at it is, our Lord offers the nations a place in this kingdom. So, Isaiah 55 is a key chapter because is shows us that God's plan, all along, was for both Jews and Gentiles to be one people under God. 

DISCUSSION AND STUDY QUESTIONS:

 1.    Verse 1 opens with an invitation. What is the invitation and who is it given to? Why is this important for the overall theme and perspective of the Book of Isaiah? 
2.    Verses 1 & 2 also talk about the payment required to embrace this offer. What is the payment required? What New Testament term speaks of this kind of payment? 
3.    What is the “everlasting covenant” spoken of in verse 3? Considering your answer to question 1, from verse 1, who is this covenant being made with?
4.    The term “Everlasting Covenant” was also used in Isaiah 61, Jeremiah 32, Ezekiel 16 & 37 and then in Hebrews 13:20. What covenant is this referring to?  
5.    The podcast pointed out that the Everlasting Covenant was specifically made with individuals. Although the Old Covenant (the Mosaic Covenant) was also individual in nature, it was ultimately made with the nation of Israel. How is the New Covenant different? Why is this difference important to understanding what it means for us to personally and individually enter into covenant with the Lord? 
6.    Take a moment to read over verse 6 and rewrite this in your own words, making a special point to apply this principle to your own life. 
7.    Verse 7 gives a clear picture of repentance. Does this describe your walk with the Lord? What wicked ways have you forsaken? What unrighteous thoughts have you turned from? What is the promise of verse 7 to those to repent like this? 
8.    What is the point behind verses 8 & 9? Why is it important for us to know these truths if we’re going to walk faithfully according to our covenant with the Lord? 
9.    What impact does God’s Word have, in verse 11? Why is this important for us to know when we’re teaching God’s Word to others? 
10.    Verse 12 pictures the kind of joy that will accompany those who enter into covenant with the Lord and follow Him. Why does following God have this result in our lives? Have there been times when you have not felt like this? In light of Christ’s exhortations for us to pick up our cross and follow Him, how would you counsel someone who is following God but suffering pain as a result?
