We have in the Isaiah passage references to eyesight and the inability/refusal to see. We are told that Isaiah is the only one whose eyes have been opened to the full glory of God, and the result is unbridled adoration of the Almighty, and a desire to serve. By the way, your exegesis for these lessons is quite impressive. How long do these take you? |

Long enough that I am often a little embarrassed when I tell people. Early in the week I usually just try to read the assigned passages (usually 1-3 chapters) a few times and just think about it. I usually read some commentaries during week as well. That's probably like an hour or two total. On Friday or Saturday I usually spend 4-6 hours reading and writing and putting it together.

Just a a brief note I didn't want put into the lesson proper. Clearly, in this chapter we have a backdrop of the pharisees contending (although indirectly for most of the chapter) with Jesus over healing on the Sabbath. I think we often have this view of Jesus trying to get the pharisees to loosen up: they are just overzealous. I wonder if it is really that simple? I like what George Breasly-Murray said about this backdrop (he is specifically talking about the healing of the paralytic man in John 5 but I think it fits here):
