‘Put On
Strength And Beautiful Garments.’
Isaiah
52:1.
a) God’s people need to wake
up.
b) God’s people need to put
on strength.
c) God’s people need to put
on their beautiful garments of Praise.
d) God’s people are to be
Holy.
e) God’s people need to put
boundaries in some way between themselves and the unclean people.
(This Second one reminds me to Put On
Strength And Beautiful Garments)
Chris.
The unclean people should always be welcomed to the place where
they can be made clean in Christ. There must always be opportunities given for
them to receive Jesus. Hospitality ministry in the Church is not just for the
nice and lovely people and True Believers. We need to extend a welcome to the unclean
people too, so that their lives can be changed by Jesus Christ.
