Advent


In this season of watching for the Light of the world to come, I've been reading some beautiful imagery of how the Light may appear. As I've studied the coming of the peace of our Lord, I've encountered again these passages that speak to us, now, specifically.
I will leave this post short, not so you may finish reading it quickly, but so you may read it repeatedly.

Isaiah 52:7
How beautiful on the mountains

    are the feet of those who bring good news,
who proclaim peace,
    who bring good tidings,
    who proclaim salvation,
who say to Zion,
    “Your God reigns!”

Isaiah 54:10
Though the mountains be shaken
    and the hills be removed,
yet my unfailing love for you will not be shaken
    nor my covenant of peace be removed,”
    says the Lord, who has compassion on you.
