Everybody loves sunshine. Occasionally, we enjoy overcast, or cloudy days, maybe even some snow, sleet, and hail so we can stay home from school or work. But sunshine is what we look forward to.
George Harrison sang Here Comes the Sun-giving us hope from cold, lonely wintry days, to better, happier times. The world is now in turmoil due to crime, inflation, housing woes, political unrest, etc. But on the horizon, there’s hope! Not just any son is on the way, but The Son; The Son of God! The messier the world gets, the clearer the signs of His return. As the song, Days of Elijah goes,
Behold, He comes riding on the clouds, Shining like the sun at the trumpet’s call, lift your voice, it’s the year of Jubilee, Out of Zion’s hill, salvation comes.
In Israel, the Year of Jubilee was held every 50 years. In it, lands and homes were returned to former owners. Debts forgiven, slaves and prisoners, freed (Leviticus 25:10-38). Likewise, when Christ returns, He will make all things right!
“And when these things begin to occur, stand tall and lift up your heads [in joy], because [suffering ends as] your redemption is drawing near” (Luke 21:28).
God Bless,
Sam
