The Messianic era at home!

Isaiah, the prophet of hope, prophesied the messianic era that means the moment where the kingdom of God’s justice, righteousness and peace will prevail. That is the era of Jesus Christ the anointed Son of God on whom God’s spirit of wisdom will dwell. Isaiah in an allegorical fable. Isaiah describes the era when true love and righteousness will be at home with the people. The area where the wolf, that is the powerful, the wicked, the greedy, the mighty will dwell with the lamb, that is the weak, the poor and the leopard shall lie down with the kid and the calf and lion playing with a little child leading them. The messianic era is that very moment that the world would truly accept Christ as Lord and Saviour. Christ becomes the reference and the goal of our existence, the solutions to our problems. The messianic era is that very era whereby, nations are no longer exploiting others, every human being is threatened not as a means or an object, but as an end as an a subject; where our relationship with God matters than any other thing and heaven is our raison – d’etre, that is the Messianic era at home.

Father God, you so loved the world that you gave us your only begotten Son, Jesus Christ, help us to open our hearts and minds to welcome
