MESSAGE, NOT MESSENGER
(Isaiah 50:4-9a)
Isaiah’s message:
the promise of better times
for wearied exiles.
Truth-telling daily:
unpopular, difficult,
life-risking for some.
Always confronting,
upsetting the status quo
for those who say, “No!”
Despite slanders, threats,
many people will stand proud:
truth will have a voice.
