THE LORD IS HOLY, AND HE IS TO BE FEARED! Isaiah 8:13-15 The Lord Almighty is the one you are to regard as holy, he is the one you are to fear, he is the one you are to dread. He will be a holy place; for both Israel and Judah he will be a stone that causes people to stumble and a rock that makes them fall. And for the people of Jerusalem he will be a trap and a snare. Many of them will stumble; they will fall and be broken, they will be snared and captured.” The Pharisees and teachers of the law stumbled and fell because of the rock that is Jesus Christ. Psalm 118:22-23 says, “The stone the builders rejected has become the cornerstone; the Lord has done this, and it is marvelous in our eyes.” Acts 4:11-12 says, “Jesus is ‘the stone you builders rejected, which has become the cornerstone.’ Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to mankind by which we must be saved.” We find these words in the midst of instruction for the nation of Israel that the Lord is Holy, and He is to be feared. They come through Isaiah for Israel as a nation, and also come to us through scripture to show that God’s redemptive plan has always been Jesus. Verse-A-Day
