“Your dead shall live.” Isaiah 26:19
This verse is a wonderful
Advent promise. Death reigned from Adam to Christ. But, Christ died and rose
again and death was defeated! Oh, our bodies will wear out and pass from the
scene of this earth, but we who believe in Jesus Christ as God’s Son, the Lamb
of God sacrificed for us, will still be alive and in the presence of Christ in
heaven. For the people who belong to God through Jesus Christ, these people,
His people, the dead shall live.
Because of the first advent
of Jesus Christ we have the blessed hope of eternal life. But that isn’t the
end. Christ is coming again. There will be a second advent. He will come in the
clouds and every eye shall see Him. The record books of all humanity will be
opened and those found in the Book of Life shall, in brand new bodies, be alive
with Him forever more. This Advent season rejoice in the blessed promises of
both the First and Second Advent of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Dear Father, We praise You
for the assurance that Your dead shall live. Amen.
