Title: Jehovah's Zeal (Isaiah 09:1-7)
Content We talk about success, but a thunderbolt is not a success. Success is the result that appears rightly according to the law of sowing and reaping.
Some have said, "Have the sun in your heart" to be successful. Those who have the sun have light, joy, passion, and energy.
Give us eternal courage, brightness, and victory in God's word today.
is given the same word as the sun, which is "the zeal of the Lord."
The meaning of the word "zealous" is "a blazing flame, very red."
Today's text proclaims the prophecy of the birth of the Messiah, who completes the history of salvation, and the Messiahship, and all related work is accomplished with 'the zeal of the Lord of hosts'.
Jehovah's zeal! This always approaches us with a burning flame, and everyone who shines in the face of the zeal of the Lord melts in front of the flame of love, is saved, and becomes a new being.
Then, where does Jehovah's zeal shine and influence? In today's words, it is revealed that it is glorified in places that were despised by the afflicted, on the people who walked in darkness, in the land of the shadow of death, and in foreign places. The zeal of Jehovah, the flame of his love, is to brighten and glorify the lowly places, where there is iniquity, and where there is darkness. That is why, in the end, they have the confession that "where sin abounds, grace abounds."
What is the specificity of Jehovah's zeal? Judging from the passage of "a child is born to us" in the text, it is that he became a human being and became like us. He is zealous to humble himself, empty himself, and give up the body of glory to be with us.
The zeal of God who spoke to us, sent people, and eventually came to us and laid himself in a manger, God's zeal, accomplished this.
Another thing is, “It has been given to us.” Jehovah's zeal is "zeal to give." He gives comfort, strength, wisdom, and eternal life.
He gives you flesh and blood. God's zeal even reached the point of giving him a son. We need deep reflection and repentance about how shameful we are in the face of God's zeal.
Now let us also embrace this zeal of the Lord. let's mourn Let's make it burn In order to keep this zeal within us, remember this zeal, and let's win with excitement and enthusiasm, saying, "This is the zeal of the LORD, who loved me."
We are here today because of this zeal of God.
Let's go back to Jehovah's zeal. hurry!
