“For as the earth produces its growth,
and as a garden enables what is sown to spring up,
so the Lord God will cause righteousness and praise
to spring up before all the nations.”
Isaiah 61:11
The barren trees and bushes show only a touch of green in early spring. But then with more light from the sun each day and air that is warmer and warmer the green overwhelms the forest and provides cooling shade for the hottest summer day. It looked so dead only a few weeks ago, but now it is burgeoning with life.
When the world looks at followers of Jesus they see only a touch of the righteousness and glory that is to come. But more light from the Son will bring a time that no one could ever imagine. That which appears to be dead will spring to life and overwhelm the nations with the righteousness of Jesus Christ!
News flash! In the struggle between righteousness and evil RIGHTEOUS WILL WIN! That was decided when Jesus rose from the grave and won the eternal victory over Satan! We are in the final quarter of a game with a score of: Jesus - 1000, Satan - 3! Yes the game is still on but the winner has already been decided.
When a sporting event has a lopsided score many fans head for the exits before the game is over. In the contest between Good and Evil I can assure that the LAST DAYS of the game will be the most exciting part!
