Isaiah reminds the returned exiles that being back in the land isn’t enough- they now need to live as God’s people. He then issues a call to holiness and Sabbath observance, a call which results in blessings for obedient.

But this invitation to belong and obey is for all people everywhere, and to be part of an ever-widening family of believers who are joined together through faith in Jesus.
