“The Spirit of the LORD will rest on him—the Spirit of wisdom and of understanding, the Spirit of counsel and of might, the Spirit of the knowledge and fear of the LORD—”
Isaiah 11:2 (NIV)
The Root of Jesse makes all the difference for this world!
We can hardly imagine a world like the world Isaiah describes in verses 6 thru 9.
No harm will be done to anyone anywhere – who would not want to live in this world?
The Root of Jesse is our Lord Jesus Christ, who is the offspring of David, who is the son of Jesse.
This blessed kingdom will only become reality for us if we rally to Him - our Banner.
We draw near to Him for judgment- wait you say - I draw near to Him for salvation.
Yes, we do, but that salvation comes to us thru judgment, the judgment rendered by our Lord through the ministry of the Holy Spirit.
He judges not by what He sees or hears, He judges by the work of the Holy Spirit, and He judges in righteousness and with justice, as He strikes the earth with the rod of His mouth and slays the wicked with the breath of His lips.
Surely Isaiah saw Christ Jesus and His ministry clearly!
Do you remember friend when His words struck you like a rod?
When His Spirit convicted you of the judgment of Christ.
You knew you were under judgment – you knew you stood condemned.
You cried out for salvation and this blessed King took up residence in your heart!
Rally to Him – our Banner, gather around Him with His people, and be blessed in His Kingdom.
