The Life and Times of Jesus the Messiah • Appendix IX
Yalkut: Messiah suffering — in a time of favor I answered you
Old Testament
Isaiah 49:8
This is what the LORD says: "In the time of my favor I will answer you, and in the day of salvation I will help you."
New Testament
2 Corinthians 6:2
For he says, "In the time of my favor I heard you, and in the day of salvation I helped you." I tell you, now is the time of God's favor, now is the day of salvation.
Why This Matters
Isaiah prophesied a future day of salvation. Paul declares that day is now — through Christ, the acceptable time has arrived. God's favor is not a distant hope but a present reality for all who believe.
Reflection
Jesus, keep me close to You in service. Let this lesson turn knowledge into prayerful action.
