Isaiah 25

It took me a little over 2 minutes to read this chapter. In verse 8 Isaiah passes on God's message of great hope. God mentions three sources of sorrow that he will remove. Death will be banished. There will never again be separation from each other and, more importantly, from God. Death will cease to be a threat. Tears will be wiped away. Not just one time but for always, and not from a few faces, but no cheek will ever be tear stained again. The God mentions disgrace; it will be gone so that there is not even a trace of it left. God's cleansing will remove every last bit of disgrace that his people ever faced in their lives. That is the type of inheritance that God had promised not only to ancient Israel, but to modern Christians as well.
