Yesterday, I went to St Helen's Church, London. After walking in and getting used to all the coffins in the place and memorial plats on the walls, we sat.
The sermon that night was taken from Isaiah, chapter 49.
Isa 49:14 But Zion said, "The Lord has forsaken me; my Lord has forgotten me."
So does God forget, are we fools that wait for the coming of Jesus only to be left waiting here on this earth perhaps forever?
No the servant shall return, and we shall not be put to shame.....
Isa 49:23 ........those who wait for me shall not be put to shame."
God holds us in his arms as His Children, for that is what we are Sons and Daughters of Almighty God, through Jesus Christ.
He tends and spare us, all our hopes and fears he know. In his arm he gently bear us. So therefore as dearly loved Children of God, let us wait for the coming of the Lord and forbid any thought that Yahweh will forget us and our needs on Earth; and banish any thought of Jesus not returning. Because............
Isa 49:15 "Can a woman forget her nursing child, that she should have no compassion on the son of her womb? Even these may forget, yet I will not forget you.
Amen.
Yes Amen. God will never forget his people Israel and his city Jerusalem/Zion (as those verses in Isaiah say). Regardless of their trust in Jesus- they are his people and will not be forgotten by their God.
ReplyDeleteBut neither will God forget his people the church who accept Jesus as messiah.
And through Jesus, God is making both the Jews and Gentiles one in him! Hallelujah!
