Meeting Tuesday May 5 -- Isaiah 59

Hi everyone - I'm late posting but hoping you've all got it in mind to show up tomorrow for Bible study. Our focus will be Isaiah 59 -- and hope we can get into just what we do with these passages in the Bible that seem to be about judgement but also, wierdly, about mercy -- - what's the relationship between judgement and justice (this coming off of Isaiah 58, which we looked at awhile back (see post here).   How do issues about "who's an insider and who's an outsider" continue to haunt the people of God today?   What do these passages have to say to us if we want to be authentically faithful in our time?
If we have time, we may also look at where this passage gets quoted in the New Testament especially Romans 3 and 11 and Ephesians 6
