Calvary Temple
He gives beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that we might be called ‘trees of righteousness, the planting of the Lord’, that HE might be glorified.

Precept Upon Precept, Line upon Line
Isaiah condemned Israel’s priests and prophets for their corruption, drunkenness, and mockery of God’s word. Though God gave them simple, repeated truths (“line upon line, precept upon precept”) that even a simple child could grasp, they rejected His word. Instead of rest and refreshing, their refusal brought judgment through foreign invasion.
In Matthew 11:28–30, Jesus offers that same rest—now fulfilled in Him. Where Israel’s leaders scorned simplicity, Christ invites all to come, take His easy yoke, and learn from Him. God’s truth is simple yet powerful, and rejecting it brings ruin, but receiving it brings rest, growth, and eternal life.
