The Redeemer LIves

Isaiah 59:20-21

The Redeemer will come to Zion, to those in Jacob who repent of their sins declares

     The Lord. Is 59:20  Isaiah sees a time when the Lord will come to Zion which s the

     Place where the glory of God is.  Zion refers to the place where David built his home,

     The tabernacle and then where Solomon built the temple.  In most references is means

     The place where God is worshipped.

a.  Isaiah also saw it as a place where those in Jacob would repent of their sins.  A

    Place where forgiveness would be asked and received.  Today we live in a time where

    As Jesus describes in John 4:24, where we can worship the Lord in Spirit and truth.  A

    Place as Paul says, in Rom 10:9-10, believe in our hearts and confess with our mouths.

    Location is not as important as confessing our sins and knowing that God will forgive

    Us as John states in 1 John 1:9

b.  I love the time period we live in.  Repentance is so easy, yet powerful and effective.

    Believe, confess, renounce you sins and receive forgiveness.  It amazes me that    

    Mankind refuses it, complicates it or procrastinates when t comes to this wonderful

    Gift.  Or that His church finds it so hard to share it with others.   As the temple of the

    Holy Spirit this next verse is so wonderful
