Isaiah 60 - Praying God's Word

Please read Isaiah 60.

Meditate on verse 1. 

Arise, shine; for your light has come,

and the glory of the LORD has risen upon you.

Isaiah 60 contains prophecy about the coming of Christ; both His first coming and His future return to earth. A key day in Christ’s first coming, was the Sunday before Christ’s crucifixion. It is often called Palm Sunday, but it was actually Lamb Selection Day. 2,000 years ago Jesus came into Jerusalem on the day thousands of people were there to select their Passover lambs. They would choose a lamb and watch it for four days to make sure it was acceptable for sacrifice (Exodus 12:1-6). It was no accident Jesus arrived on Lamb Selection Day. The Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world came into Jerusalem on the day people chose their lambs to die for their sins. God asked, “Will you choose My Lamb; the only Lamb that can take away your sins?”

Isaiah announced that the glory of the LORD had come. God announced that He is the LORD, the Savior, the Redeemer (Isaiah 60:1,16).

Which lamb do you choose? Choose the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world (John 1:29).

Pray Isaiah 60:16, 19, and 21 over those for whom you stand guard as a faithful, prayerful watchman (Isaiah 62:6-7).

“LORD, please let _____________ know

You are their Savior, Redeemer, and Mighty One.

Let them choose You to be their everlasting light and glory.

Make them righteous.

In Your name, Jesus~”
