Isa 40:2 | MHM | STEP | v. 2 : The message is for Jerusalem: Speak tenderly to Jerusalem, and cry to her that her warfare is ended, that her iniquity is pardoned . Tell her that her suffering is over, and her sins are forgiven. God promises that the punishment has been enough—He has given double for all her sins. This means the time of discipline is finished, and now comes comfort and restoration. God’s forgiveness is greater than our failures, and He is ready to bring His people back to Himself.
