Isaiah 62-66
When I saw that Isaiah 63:1 contained the phrase "Mighty to save," I thought that surely I should blog about that since the song "Mighty to Save" by Hillsong United is so awesome... but God's Word is never that simple. God definitely has the power to save and is ready and eager to save us, but the bigger questions are from what and for what. Yesterday we looked at what a difference the knowledge of eternity would have made for Job, alas, Job never knew the joy this side of eternity, but Isaiah has been given glimpses into heaven... seeing the Lord on his throne, and in Isaiah 65:17 we see perhaps the first glimpse of eternity... "Behold, I will create new heavens and a new earth." Hallelujah! Mighty to save indeed. He will save us from weeping and crying, infant deaths, toiling in vain and more... but even better, he will save us for eternity... eternity with him. Good News!
