Isaiah 19:23 On that day there will be a highway from Egypt to Assyria, and the Assyrian will come into Egypt, and the Egyptian into Assyria, and the Egyptians will worship with the Assyrians.
Do you ever get tired of people arguing and fighting and killing each other because they disagree about what God looks like, or what God wants them to do in the world? It's a particularly sore spot for me because talking about God is sort of, well, you know... my job. And I believe that God weeps when people's arrogance and condescension gets in the way of worship and praise.
The promise of God is that someday a superhighway with open road tolling will be built. And it will connect Egypt and Assyria. It will connect Chicago and Tehran. It will connect Rome and Wittenberg. It will connect Jerusalem and Mecca. And Christian will worship with Muslim. Sunni will worship with Shia. Jew will worship with Roman Catholic. Lutheran will worship with Anglican. Lutheran will worship with, well, other Lutheran. That's the promise of God. Come, Lord Jesus!
In Christ,
Pastor Seth
