The Peace | Isaiah’s Voice | Part 5

The Bible tells a sweeping story — one of promises made, promises fulfilled, and the space of waiting in between. This morning, we explored Isaiah 11:1–12, a powerful prophecy that foretells the coming kingdom of peace through the root of Jesse — Jesus, who reigns with perfect justice and righteousness.

Isaiah offers us a breathtaking glimpse of what the world will be like when Jesus returns to make all things new (vv. 6–8):

“In that day the wolf and the lamb will live together;the leopard will lie down with the baby goat.The calf and the yearling will be safe with the lion,and a little child will lead them all.The cow will graze near the bear,the cub and the calf will lie down together.The lion will eat hay like a cow.The baby will play safely near the hole of a cobra.Yes, a little child will put its hand in a nest of deadly snakes without harm.”

Even now — amid hardship, struggle, and waiting — we can cling to hope because we know how the story ends. The Most High God has given us His Son for our redemption and His Spirit to dwell within us, reminding us daily of the unshakable hope we have in Jesus.
