Isaiah 11 · Grade 4

The Spirit-Filled King

Name Date

Read and Think

Isaiah 11 pictures a tree cut down to a stump. Yet "a shoot will come out of the stock of Jesse." Jesse was David's father, so this King would come from David's royal family. "Yahweh's Spirit will rest on him: the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and might, the spirit of knowledge and of the fear of Yahweh."

This King would not judge by what he sees or hears. Instead, "he will judge the poor with righteousness, and decide with equity for the humble of the earth." Righteousness and faithfulness would be like a belt around his waist.

Then Isaiah describes a world at peace. "The wolf will live with the lamb," and "a little child will lead them." No one will hurt nor destroy on God's holy mountain, "for the earth will be full of the knowledge of Yahweh, as the waters cover the sea." The nations will seek the root of Jesse.

For families: talk about these together.

  • The coming ruler would not decide by looks or rumors. How can you be fair to someone before you know the whole story?
  • How can you help more people come to know God?
