"The Redeemed of the LORD"

Text: Isaiah 62:12

A WORD OF ENCOURAGEMENT

A strong word of encouragement to the faithful was given. They must ever remember that they have been redeemed by the LORD!

“Go through,
Go through the gates!
Prepare the way for the people;
Build up,
Build up the highway!
Take out the stones,
Lift up a banner for the peoples!
Indeed the LORD has proclaimed
To the end of the world:
‘Say to the daughter of Zion,
‘Surely your salvation is coming;
Behold, His reward is with Him,
And His work before Him.”
And they shall call them The Holy People,
The Redeemed of the LORD;
And you shall be called Sought Out,
A City Not Forsaken.'”
