5 Thus saith God the Lord, he that created the heavens, and stretched them out; he that spread forth the earth, and that which cometh out of it; he that giveth breath unto the people upon it, and spirit to them that walk therein: 6 I the Lord have called thee in righteousness, and will hold thine hand, and will keep thee, and give thee for a covenant of the people, for a light of the Gentiles; 7 To open the blind eyes, to bring out the prisoners from the prison, and them that sit in darkness out of the prison house (Isaiah 42:5-7).
Isaiah’s prophecies concerning Christ, given hundreds of years before Christ’s life, death and resurrection are an amazing reminder that God is in control. Christ came to open the eyes of the world to the love of God. The plan of redemption of the Creation was sovereignly planned from the beginning. The Creator is sovereign over creation and that sovereignty allows the salvation of multitudes from every nation, tongue and generation. Christ sets us free; free from the chains of our own actions; and free from total darkness.
