Think about how many centuries have passed between Isaiah writing and Jesus speaking. How long had people been waiting for? Surely, many of them felt like the future would never draw near.
But it did, in a miraculous way, even though many of them didn't grasp the fullness of it. They were astounded, but not convinced. They had questions.
In the same way, we wonder when Jesus will return. We've been waiting many centuries. Surely, some feel like the future that God promised will never draw near.
But it will, in a miraculous way, even though we may not grasp the fullness of it. We will have questions. Some will not be convinced.
May we trust in the workings and timing of God, even though we have many questions and feel like we've been waiting for centuries. May the Holy Spirit help us to trust in God.
