以賽亞書45:20-25

45:20 你們從列國逃脫的人，要一同聚集前來。那些抬著雕刻木偶、禱告不能救人之神的，毫無知識。

45:21 你們要述說陳明你們的理，讓他們彼此商議。誰從古時指明？誰從上古述說？不是我─耶和華嗎？除了我以外，再沒有上帝；我是公義的上帝，又是救主；除了我以外，再沒有別神。

45:22 地極的人都當仰望我，就必得救；因為我是上帝，再沒有別神。

45:23 我指著自己起誓，我口所出的話是憑公義，並不反回：萬膝必向我跪拜；萬口必憑我起誓。

45:24 人論我說，公義、能力，惟獨在乎耶和華；人都必歸向他。凡向他發怒的必至蒙羞。

45:25 以色列的後裔都必因耶和華得稱為義，並要誇耀。

20

Assemble yourselves and come together,

draw near, you survivors of the nations!

They have no knowledge—

those who carry about their wooden idols,

and keep on praying to a god

that cannot save.

21

Declare and present your case;

let them take counsel together!

Who told this long ago?

Who declared it of old?

Was it not I, the Lord?

There is no other god besides me,

a righteous God and a Savior;

there is no one besides me.

22

Turn to me and be saved,

all the ends of the earth!

For I am God, and there is no other.

23

By myself I have sworn,

from my mouth has gone forth in righteousness

a word that shall not return:

“To me every knee shall bow,

every tongue shall swear.”

24

Only in the Lord, it shall
be said of me,

are righteousness and strength;

all who were incensed against him

shall come to him and be ashamed.

25

In the Lord all the
offspring of Israel

shall triumph and glory.

    耶穌基督是上帝拯救的展現，祂雖然像一隻麻雀落在地上，是軟弱與無能，甚至羞辱的死在十字架上，及其的軟弱與失敗，卻展現了上帝的大能力！讓我們靠這耶穌所賜的無形翅膀，可以飛越死亡，進入永生，享受上帝的同在，這就是上帝拯救的大能！

    也因為如此，我們可以如先知一般宣告：「除了耶和華以外，再沒有上帝；耶和華是公義的上帝，又是救主；除了耶和華以外，再沒有別神。地極的人都當仰望耶和華，就必得救；因為耶和華是上帝，再沒有別神」

    惟有耶穌基督能帶給我們復活的大能，也透過耶穌基督我們感受到無能者的大能！我們不要悲嘆自己的失敗與軟弱，因為上帝的大能要透過我們的軟弱與無能展現出來，如同主耶穌賜給我們的無形的翅膀！
