Isaiah 49:1-13 marks the beginning of a new section in Isaiah. The previous eight chapters highlighted the deliverance from Babylonian captivity that would be brought through Cyrus the Persian. But this chapter shifts to the greater deliverance from slavery to sin that would be accomplished by Jesus. Using the metaphor in the passage of coming out of imprisonment (prison cell, shackles, chains) we will see what the Spirit does for us today and walking through the passage we will see what Jesus has done. Jesus is the only way.
