Can a Mother Forget?

Overview
Isaiah 49 gives a sweeping, panoramic view of God’s salvation. But immediately following that promise, there’s a fascinating skeptical response.
This is the second of the Servant songs, a prophecy about the Servant of the Lord, who the New Testament writers identify as Jesus. In it, it shows that there’s a salvation soon … and then eventually … and then ultimately. But to this view, Israel skeptically says, “There are all these promises of loving action, but I don’t feel loved.” And God responds.
Let’s look at these verses to see 1) a painful question, 2) an answer to the question, 3) a cure for the pain.
