“I will make justice the measuring line and righteousness the plummet.”
Isaiah 28:17
While Isaiah 28:16 spoke
mostly of the action and result of the Christ’s First Advent, this next verse
reveals His Second Advent. His First Advent brought promise of forgiveness and
grace to all who would believe. His First Advent revealed Christ in His
humiliation, the suffering servant. Through obedience to His Father’s plan,
Christ offered Himself willingly to suffering and death so that humanity might
be saved and spared God’s judgment.
In Christ’s Second Advent
He comes as mighty King, Lord of lords who will sit on His judgment throne and
judge the nations and all the people in them. What will be His standard of
judgment? Justice and Righteousness! God offered His Son that we might be
saved. If we reject that salvation we have rejected all hope and justice for
our sins will be our end. Christ has fulfilled the satisfaction of
righteousness and all who are in Him are declared righteous. Christ’s Second
Advent will appear and the only question is, will you be ready?
Dear Father, Thank You for
giving us the readiness to face the Second Advent. Amen.
