Faith Life Weekend Session 5
Seven centuries before Christ the poet-prophet Isaiah spoke of a day when God will do something wonderful for all nations on Mount Zion. (Isaiah 25:6–7)
God will turn the universal burial shroud into a universal table cloth—funerals will be turned into feasts.
God will swallow up death forever—the end of that dark specter that threatens to make life meaningless.
God will wipe away every tear. Can the terrible tears of every Good Friday catastrophe be redeemed? Yes!
God will give the whole world a feast to celebrate the conquering of death.
Jesus spoke of this as “eating and drinking in the kingdom of God.”
God intends to save the world, not by ballots or bullets, but by a table.
