What a day to read through the Bible! Two of my favorite chapters in the same day. Isaiah speaks of a "new day" for Israel.
"Behold, I will create new heavens and a new earth."
What powerful images of a new beginning. A vibrancy of building homes, babies not dying, ending suffering, enemies getting along...on Mt. Zion. (Mt. Zion is an image for the Kingdom of God)
Paul also says so much in Romans 12. This whole chapter sounds like a continuation of the Sermon on the Mount. How often have I recalled these words of overcoming evil with good. Is this not the strongest position for the Christian to not be weary of treating others well? What a lofty thought to aspire! Here is the passage...
"Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good."
