OUR FATHER WHO DRAWS US TO HIMSELF AND PARDONS US FREELY

Isaiah chapter 55 verse 5 says this;

Surely you will summon nations you know not, and nations you do not know will come running to you, because of the Lord your God, the Holy One of Israel, for he has endowed you with splendor.”

This verse is addressed to the witness to the nations with whom the Lord has made an everlasting covenant. The Lord has appointed him to be a ruler and commander over all peoples.

The witness is told that he will draw in nations that he does not know and that foreigners will come running to him because the God of Israel will endow Him with splendor.

Verses 6 - 7 go on to say that mercy and pardon will be given freely to those who turn to the Lord and forsake their evil ways and thoughts.

Verse 8 explains why the Lord draws foreign people to Himself and pardons them;

“For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways,”

Amen.
