Pastor Kachelmeier is the guest on Issues, Etc. talking about Christ in Isaiah chapter 49. In this passage we are taught about the purpose of the holy incarnation, that is, to bring back the people of Israel to God and to make the Gentiles into the people of God by the preaching of Christ. Christ declares, “Listen to me, O coastlands, and give attention, you peoples from afar. The Lord called me from the womb, from the body of my mother he named my name.” (Isaiah 49:1, ESV) Christ’s Kingdom comes by the preaching of His word. Thus, His mouth has been made to be like a sharp sword.  (click here to listen to the interview on Issues, Etc.)
