Isaiah's
words 'O house of Jacob, come, let us walk in the light of the Lord'
describe to me an utopia of heavenly peacefulness.
To
me it is descriptive of a life of listening, obedience, love and
faithfulness. In my view, living such a life cannot only save us
from all earthly peril and sinfulness but by giving us a blanket of
peacefulness for survival.
Isaiah's
words further describe those who adopt that heavenly principle will
not only see the greatness of God's love but will continue to exist
in a world where the love of God will always guide them from utter
peril and damnation. In our day, we yearn for God's peace not only
for our immediate surroundings but for worldwide peace among nations.
As Isaiah pleaded with the people of Judah and Jerusalem we, today,
pray that all nations will plead for God to be our supreme mediator
in settling very troubling international dispute and wars between
different countries.
Our
hope for today should be that all nations will no longer fight
against nation nor train God's children for war anymore. Isaiah
envisions, also, and with confidence, a promise of a house where the
people from Judah and Jerusalem will inherit a peace which will
enrich their lives through following our God.
“O
house of Jacob, come, let us walk in the light of the Lord!” These
words are giving, sharing, comforting and above all Peace
that passes all understanding .
