(Irishcast) God Dwells With His People (Isa 40v10 Rev 21v3) (Hope)
The arms race was a race for supremacy in nuclear power between the United States, the Soviet Union, and their allies during the Cold War. Today’s texts reveal the nature of God’s arms race. What is the might that God’s arm chooses to use to dismantle the powers of darkness? God chooses to die. His arm is nailed to a cross. He takes the nails meant for us into His arm. Our sin becomes His and our sin kills him. By dying, Jesus puts an end to all our efforts to arm ourselves for self- defense in this world. His death frees us. Isaiah 59:1 declares: “Behold, the Lord’s hand (arm) is not shortened, that it cannot save…” His arm saved us on the cross. We now are armed with the power of God’s grace to love the world as He loves us. Our arms race is now for Christ alone and for His will to be done in the world by the power of His suffering love.
