“‘Come now, let’s settle this,’ says the Lord. ‘Though your sins are like scarlet, I will make them as white as snow. Though they are red like crimson, I will make them as white as wool.’” (Isaiah 1:18)

Isaiah begins his prophecy with a terrifying appraisal of Israel’s sin. Yet, before he even finishes the 1st chapter he offers this hope of forgiveness and covering from the Lord. Jesus is the fulfillment of this prophecy.
