Live Now in Light of Then
THE FUTURE HOPE IN OUR PRESENT MOMENT
We all experience the pressure to be on the “right side of history.” Right now, it’s hard to maintain unpopular convictions. Easier to soften the blow of the “bad news” of the gospel, shy away from taking the good news into the world, and take matters into our own hands to find peace as we look toward an uncertain future. But Isaiah comes to us with a message of hope as we look to the days ahead. A Day is coming, and has already dawned, in which God’s peace will cover the earth, his Law will be the law of the land, and his people will be set free from every trace and stain of sinful compromise - forever. He won’t fail to accomplish everything that he’s promised and sustain us until that Great Day. So let’s live now in light of that hope.
