Why We Keep Our Sight On The Blessed Hope.

Today's Verse is Isaiah 40:10

      Behold, the Lord GOD will come with strong hand,

      And his arm shall rule for him:

      Behold, his reward is with him,

      And his work before him.

    Through Isaiah to Hezekiah God has announced that God’s People Israel (even Judah) will be judged and that judgment will be harsh, yet here, those that are faithful have been given a Blessed Hope, even the coming of their King, even that stone that was cut out without hands (which we later learn from Daniel.) Such is the Hope of Israel, God’s chosen people. Yet, we that Know Christ, even as we share in this Hope, we have our own Hope, for we seek that Day when Jesus Christ will come for his own, even his Bride, and sit with him at the Wedding Feast before he Returns as the King promised to his Chosen People Israel. As Abraham looked for a City which hath foundations, whose builder and maker is God[,] So do we all have a Blessed Hope as we toil under the curse placed upon this world because of sin, even our sin. Amen.

To God be the Glory
