LET YOUR LEADER BE JESUS.   AT HOME, SCHOOL, CITY, STATE, AND COUNTRY. 

ISAIAH 3 

Judgment on Jerusalem and Judah

3 See now, the Lord,
    the Lord Almighty,
is about to take from Jerusalem and Judah
    both supply and support:
all supplies of food and all supplies of water,
²     the hero and warrior,
the judge and prophet,
    the soothsayer and elder,
³ the captain of fifty and man of rank,
    the counselor, skilled craftsman and clever enchanter.

⁴ I will make boys their officials;
    mere children will govern them.
⁵ People will oppress each other—
    man against man, neighbor against neighbor.
The young will rise up against the old,
    the base against the honorable.

⁶ A man will seize one of his brothers
    at his father’s home, and say,
“You have a cloak, you be our leader;
    take charge of this heap of ruins!”
⁷ But in that day he will cry out,
    “I have no remedy.
I have no food or clothing in my house;
    do not make me the leader of the people.”

⁸ Jerusalem staggers,
    Judah is falling;
their words and deeds are against the Lord,
    defying his glorious presence.
⁹ The look on their faces testifies against them;
    they parade their sin like Sodom;
    they do not hide it.
Woe to them!
    They have brought disaster upon themselves.

¹⁰ Tell the righteous it will be well with them,
    for they will enjoy the fruit of their deeds.
¹¹ Woe to the wicked! Disaster is upon them!
They will be paid back for what their hands have done.

¹² Youths oppress my people,
    women rule over them.
O my people, your guides lead you astray;
    they turn you from the path.

¹³ The Lord takes his place in court;
    he rises to judge the people.
¹⁴ The Lord enters into judgment
    against the elders and leaders of his people:
“It is you who have ruined my vineyard;

 

 

 

ISAIAH 5

 

20 Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness,
 who put bitter for sweet
    and sweet for bitter.

21 Woe to those who are wise in their own eyes and clever in their own sight.

 

PSALM 25

 

8 Good and upright is the Lord;
 therefore he instructs sinners in his ways.

9 He guides the humble in what is right and teaches them his way.

 

So, what is the say we should follow? 

JOHN 14

 

The Way, the Truth, and the Life

 

1 “Let not your heart be troubled; you believe in God, believe also in Me. 2 In My Father’s house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. 3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself; that where I am, there you may be also. 4 And where I go you know, and the way you know.”

5 Thomas said to Him, “Lord, we do not know where You are going, and how can we know the way?”

6 Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.
