If you were sold into slavery for nothing (no price tag, no value assigned) how exactly would you buy your way back out?

In Isaiah 52, Isaiah paints three vivid pictures:

1. captives redeemed at absolutely no cost to themselves,
2. a messenger whose announcement of peace turns ruined-city watchmen into a choir,
3. and a God who rolls up his sleeves in plain sight of every nation on earth.

The result is an victory procession with God himself as both the vanguard and the rear guard!

But the sermon closes with an unsettling hint: the arm of the Lord, when you finally see it at work, is going to look nothing like the beautiful effects it produces. For that revelation, you'll have to wait for Good Friday.
