Isaiah 35 - Redemption and the Way to Zion

 In Isaiah 35 we read about "The Promise of Redemption and the Way of Holiness". In verses 1-2, we see a desert that wellcomes people with flowers and music. In verses 3-4 we read a message of hope:


Tell fearful souls,

    “Courage! Take heart!

God is here, right here,

    on his way to put things right

And redress all wrongs.

    He’s on his way! He’ll save you!”


In verses 5-7 we read a prophecy about restauration:


5-7 Blind eyes will be opened,

    deaf ears unstopped,

Lame men and women will leap like deer,

    the voiceless break into song.


In verses 8-10, we read about the Way to Zion:


There will be a highway

    called the Holy Road.

No one rude or rebellious

    is permitted on this road.

It’s for God’s people exclusively—

    impossible to get lost on this road.

    Not even fools can get lost on it.


Jesus is the Way, the Holy Road. Whoever is in Jesus don't get lost.
