In today’s reading Isaiah continues to instruct God’s people about God’s providential plans for their future, and what kind of future they can expect.
What will it be like when God’s plans are brought to fulfillment? The prophet Isaiah tells us that it will be like a great and glorious banquet.
If we want to be followers of Jesus we are to confess with our mouths that Jesus is Lord and believe in our hearts that God raised him from the dead.
With our daily routines it’s easy to forget that the kingdom of God is always near. It’s easy to lose track of the presence of the Lord.
As the end times approach there will be persecution for Jesus’ followers. Destruction will be everywhere. And this will be merely a prelude to the ultimate, final upheaval of all creation.
Today’s Gospel reading reassures us that nothing is more powerful than God’s love and care for us. Nothing can frustrate God’s plans for his world.
If Christ’s community is being persecuted it’s not a sign that the community has failed, but that it is the community of Christ.
