Come to the Waters: Discovering Jesus in Isaiah 55
What if Isaiah 55 is more than an invitation?
What if every phrase points us to Jesus Christ?
Isaiah 55 contains one of the greatest invitations ever recorded in Scripture:
"Ho, every one that thirsteth, come ye to the waters..."
But who is being invited?
What are the waters?
Why can those who have no money "buy" and eat?
Why does God speak of bread, wine, milk, hearing, covenant, forgiveness, and everlasting joy-all within a single chapter?
In Come to the Waters, Vanessa Terk carefully walks through Isaiah 55 verse by verse, allowing Scripture to explain Scripture. Rather than rushing to conclusions, this study explores the historical setting, the literary context, and the unfolding testimony of the whole Bible, revealing how this remarkable chapter ultimately finds its fulfilment in Jesus Christ.
Inside this book you will discover:
• The historical background of Isaiah 55
• Why God's invitation begins after Isaiah 53 and 54
• The biblical meaning of spiritual thirst
• The significance of the living waters
• Why salvation cannot be bought with human effort
• God's invitation to every thirsty soul
• The everlasting covenant and the sure mercies of David
• How Isaiah 55 points to Jesus as the Bread of Life and the Living Water
