Isaiah 61:4-7 - Restoration
Restoration. With the coming messiah also comes restoration. Jesus has come! Those who know him, and I mean know him not just a passive belief, find restoration of the desolation of generations.
What is more beautiful than our own restoration? Seeing others, whose lives are a mess, restored. It seems to be contagious: for when our own lives are healed we see the possibility for other to be healed and we want that for them. And so a revival starts - the energy of an unstoppable force.
In verse 6 the text says, “You shall eat the riches of Gentiles, and in their glory you shall boast.” I believe the riches are God’s creation, eating of them means to take in God’s people who don’t yet know him. Boasting in their glory is the celebration of seeing people saved.
