Text: Isaiah 60:1-6
Our text today comes from ancient Israel, from that time when the community of returned exiles struggled to believe that God was still working in their midst. Earlier promises, spoken while in exile, pointed to a great future for God’s people. They had, in fact, regained possession of the land as promised. But they were barely existing. They felt in no condition to be a light to the nations (42:5-7).
Into this state of discouragement and concern, the prophet writes, “arise, shine, for your light has come, and the glory of the Lord has risen upon you.”
