Be Still for the Presence of the Lord

Justice?

The yellow area was known as the Kingdom of Judah over 3 thousand years ago.

Our assembly today is about Isaiah - a prophet who lived in Judah.

Why was Judah talking of justice? What did he mean when he said:

 ¹⁶ Wash and make yourselves clean. 

                              Take your evil deeds out of my sight; 

stop doing wrong. 

¹⁷ Learn to do right; seek justice.    

Defend the oppressed.^[a] 

Take up the cause of the fatherless;    

plead the case of the widow.

(Isaiah 1:16-17)
