Isaiah 36

In verse 4 the rabshakeh, who was like a general in the Assyrian army, sent this question to Hezekiah king of Judah: "On what do you rest this trust of yours?" Even though I don't like to be taught by people with whom I have a disagreement I would have to say that this question posed to God's people of faith by an ancient pagan general is still a questioin that we need to answer. Buried in the depths of that question is a concept with which we need to wrestle and pray that God will give us the victory.  Our trust should be securely resting of our faith in Jesus: his atoning sacrifice and saving grace. Hezekiah based his trust on God's promise that he had given the land to his peope Israel. The promise we have is even more sure because it does not depend upon the Law but upon the son of God; Jesus Christ. That is a very sure foundation.
It took me a little less than 3 minutes to read this chapter.
