As we celebrate the death and resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ I would like to share some scripture from the Old Testament.
Isaiah 25:6-9 gives prophetic reference to our salvation...
“On this mountain the LORD Almighty will prepare a feast of rich food for all peoples,
a banquet of aged wine— the best of meats and the finest of wines.
On this mountain He will destroy
the shroud that enfolds all peoples,
the sheet that covers all nations; He will swallow up death forever.
The Sovereign LORD will wipe away the tears from all faces;
He will remove His people’s disgrace from all the earth. The LORD has spoken. In that day they will say,“Surely this is our God; we trusted in Him and He saved us. This is the Lord, we trusted in Him; let us rejoice and be glad in His salvation.”
In the this passage, “the shroud which enfolds all peoples” speaks of spiritual darkness. Truly death has been swallowed up and the disgrace of sin has been removed by our Saviour. The gospel message is so simple and yet so utterly profound. Trust in the Lord Jesus and Him alone for our salvation.
Acts 4:12 (NIV). Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to men by which we must be saved."
“
It seems at times in our Christian walk it is refreshing and brings us strength to get back to basics. With myriads of philosophies and opinions spinning about us in our modern hectic world let us “cling to the old rugged cross” and truly delight in our redemption.
