Before his departure from Christ Church, Canon Jonathan reflects on the one message he most wanted to leave behind: the gospel. Isaiah first confronts God’s people with the reality of their sin, but then comforts them with a hope-filled invitation. Through the promised Suffering Servant, God does what we cannot, calling all who are thirsty, hungry, and empty-handed to come and receive his grace. The gospel is not a message we outgrow—it is the truth we need to hear again and again.
Jesus is the Wisdom of God made flesh: not only the wisest man who ever lived, but also the very source of all wisdom! In our final session, we compare the wisdom of Solomon to the wisdom of Jesus and ask how we ought to relate to Jesus as the Wisdom of God.
