If you had the power to do one thing for the world, what would it be? Would you feed the hungry? Would you give homes to the homeless? Would you heal everyone with cancer? Would you cause all wars to end? What if all of those and more could be done at once?
Though none of us have the power to do the things mentioned above, we often wish we did. We especially wish for that power when a loved one has cancer or is struggling financially or gone off to serve in the military. We wish we could eliminate whatever it is that is worrying us.
For those of us who believe in Jesus, we know it will all happen. We know that when Jesus returns, all will be well. We have evidence of Jesus performing those miracles when He walked this earth before. He fulfilled the prophecy of Isaiah by giving sight to the blind, hearing to the deaf, the ability to speak to the dumb, and the ability to walk to the lame.
Jesus promised there will be no tears in His kingdom, all would be made whole, everyone would have plenty to eat, everyone would have a place to sleep, and we all will sing the praises of God. We have heard of the streets of gold, the river of water of life, and the tree of life with different fruits for every month. Isaiah’s prophecy gives us a glimpse into what it will be like when Jesus returns.
I pray we all know things will be perfect when Jesus returns. I pray we know that everyone will be healed. I pray each one of us looks forward to an eternity spent with God in his kingdom. Jesus will return. All will be made perfect. Everyone will be well. Look forward to eternity with God.
Isaiah 35:5-6a
Then the eyes of the blind shall be opened,
and the ears of the deaf shall be opened;
then the lame shall leap like a deer,
and the tongue of the speechless sing for joy.
