Final Note On Isaiah

Shocking as Isaiah ends the book with judgement. The last chapter of Isaiah speaks about the humble and contrite in contrast to those who rebel and offer vain sacrifices.

God looks upon those who are humble and contrite. To the broken in spirit God looks upon. Throughout the Bible, I see that God does not look at our outward looks or appearances or deeds, but He looks at our heart.
  • Isaiah 66:2
  • James 4:6
  • Isaiah 29:13
  • Luke 18:9-14 
  • Isaiah 57:15 
  • Psalm 51:17 
  • Micah 6:8 
The ESV Study Bible's final comment on the last verse of Isaiah speaks a lot of truth and helps illuminate the message of Gospel: 
The gospel is good news to the contrite but bad news to the rebellious.
