The Isaiah 43 Podcast
The Isaiah 43 Podcast invites you to behold the God who says, “Fear not, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by name, you are Mine” (Isa. 43:1). Each week, we walk slowly through the Scriptures, combining careful exegesis with the rich truths of Reformed theology. These reflections on the Holy Scriptures aim to ground your faith, comfort your heart, and lift your eyes to Christ—our great Redeemer, Shepherd, and Friend. Whether you come weary, searching, or eager to grow, you’ll find a steady place to rest in the promises of God.

LD5: How Can We Escape?
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
As we enter the Deliverance section of the Heidelberg Catechism, Lord’s Day 5 confronts us with a terrifying and necessary question: How can we escape the justice we deserve?
God’s holiness demands payment. His justice cannot be ignored. And the catechism presses us to admit what we’d rather avoid—we cannot pay the debt ourselves. In fact, we increase it every day. No creature can bear the weight. No sacrifice can settle the account.
So where does that leave us?
This episode traces the catechism’s answer: we need a Mediator who is truly human, perfectly righteous, and yet true God. One who can stand in our place and satisfy justice fully. One who can do what we never could.
This is the beginning of deliverance. And it is all of Christ.
