“But here on this mountain, God-of-the-Angel-Armies will throw a feast for all the people of the world, A feast of the finest foods, a feast with vintage wines, a feast of seven courses, a feast lavish with gourmet desserts. And here on this mountain, God will banish the pall of doom hanging over all peoples, the shadow of doom darkening all nations. Yes, he’ll banish death forever. And God will wipe the tears from every face. He’ll remove every sign of disgrace from his people, wherever they are. Yes! God says so!”
Isaiah 25:8 MSG – A verse of the day from the Bible presented in Eugene Peterson’s contemporary version called The Message. Accompanied by a personal reflection below.
What a day that will be — when every tear is wiped away, and every pang of guilt is brushed away, and a full and complete reconciliation takes place with God and every one who calls him father. It is hard to imagine what all this might look like, but I can only imagine it as a flood of utter joy, relief, and complete contentment that must overcome each person. May it be that you and I will share in this joy together.
