“Question & Answer”

Question:
How does 2 Isaiah picture the love and tenderness of God?
Answer:
It reads in Isaiah 40:11 NIV> He tends his flock like a shepherd: He gathers the lambs in his arms and carries them close to his heart; he gently leads those that have young. It reads in Isaiah 49:15 NIV> “Can a mother forget the baby at her breast and have no compassion on the child she has borne? Though she may forget, I will not forget you!

The third picture of the tenderness of God is that of a bridegroom who is in the midst of rejoicing. Isaiah 62:5 Reads! “As a bridegroom rejoiceth over the bride, so shall thy God rejoice over thee.” This is another glimpse into the tenderness of God.
It reads in Isaiah 63:9 NIV> In all their distress he too was distressed, and the angel of his presence saved them. In his love and mercy, he redeemed them; he lifted them up and carried them all the days of old.
It reads in Isaiah 66:13 NIV> As a mother comforts her child, so will I comfort you; and you will be comforted over Jerusalem.”
