Chapter 52
Good Monday Morning to this week 52 of 2021 <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The people that walked in darkness have seen a great light; they that dwelt in the land of the shadow of death, upon them hath the light shined. Isaiah 9:2<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Let’s look at this passage of Isaiah 9. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I love the idea of prophecies referring to a future event in the past tense; not because the event has necessarily happened, but because its occurrence is concrete. There is a finality and certainty to it. It is as if it\u2019s already taken place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And I love the idea that the future tense of what Jesus will be called isn\u2019t so much an event of the future, but a continuing event of past, present and future.\u00a0
Who walks when you walk in darkness?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Who walks when you walk in darkness?
Who stands straight?
Who treads firm?
Who lives in the
true meaning of the word?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
All fade away.
There is no trust
No solid ground.
No resting place,
No journey\u2019s end.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There is no quiet,
No sense of peace,
No sight to guide,
No knowledge to lead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I ask, who walks when you walk in darkness?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But now, a light has come,
The day has dawned,
The brilliance of the Holy One
Has shone upon the earth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
An heir is born,
A kinsman lives,
A child of ancient promise
Has arrived.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He holds the crown of David
And wears the robe of Solomon,
But as lord of both
He sits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
No dominion endures before him,
No war prevails against him.
No darkness can diminish him
And no depth can consume him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For the LORD has given him all things,
That he may free the nations.
He loves the ways of justice
And his kingdom of light is eternal.
Wishing you a great start to this last week of 2021 , a transition and expectation
of the new year to come.
Philemon <\/p>\n\n\n\n
