Scripture lesson: Isaiah 25:6-9 “on that day”

Time to reflect:

Although we do not take this literally, the picture painted here of God's redemption of “all peoples” at the end of time is a glorious one. This passage is one to cling to in times of trouble.

Moving through the day: Visually picture representatives from “all nations” and “all people” not just our own. Picture the most dejected or suffering of these nations and people and picture God comforting all.

Scripture:

Isaiah 25:6-9

6On this mountain the Lord of hosts will make for all peoples
   a feast of rich food, a feast of well-matured wines,
   of rich food filled with marrow, of well-matured wines strained clear.
7And he will destroy on this mountain
   the shroud that is cast over all peoples,
   the sheet that is spread over all nations;
8he will swallow up death for ever.
Then the Lord God will wipe away the tears from all faces,
   and the disgrace of his people he will take away from all the earth,
   for the Lord has spoken.
9It will be said on that day,
   Lo, this is our God; we have waited for him, so that he might save us.
   This is the Lord for whom we have waited;
   let us be glad and rejoice in his salvation.
