"Besides Me there is no saviour"

Text: Isaiah 43:11

NO OTHER SAVIOUR INDEED

Israel had foolishly turned to idols to deliver them out of their troubles. But they were greatly disappointed. There was no one who could deliver the nation out of all their troubles.

“‘I, even I, am the LORD,
And besides Me there is no saviour.
I have declared and saved,
I have proclaimed,
And there was no foreign god among you;
Therefore you are My witnesses,’
Says the LORD, ‘that I am God.
Indeed before the day was, I am He;
And there is no one who can deliver out of My hand;
I work, and who will reverse it?'”
Isaiah 43:11-13
