October 15, 2023 - Rebuilding the Ruins

I love the imagery of how God’s Anointed (see Isaiah 61:1-2) is the agent of restoration, that leads to building a people who display the Lord’s splendor and glory.  The opening words of the chapter may sound familiar, as they are the words that Jesus read when he began his public ministry.  

Isaiah the prophet shifts his imagery quickly from oaks to a people that rebuild cities.  Our faith is built on a strong foundation of righteousness, given to us by the righteousness of our Savior Jesus.  But our faith is meant to be active, as we are called to rebuild, restore, and renew.  Our eyes should be drawn to the places in our neighborhoods and cities where we see brokenness, and our feet should move to be a part of the restoration.
