"Thy dead men shall live, together with my dead body shall they arise. Awake and sing, ye that dwell in dust: for thy dew is as the dew of herbs, and the earth shall cast out the dead."
Isaiah 26:19
Undoubtedly, this is one of my favorite verses concerning the promise of a righteous resurrection. In the middle of severe times and heavy burdens, Isaiah looked ahead, in faith, to the resurrection day of the righteous who are in Jesus the Messiah.
Recently, friends of ours have said goodbye to someone they love. By God's grace, those who left were redeemed by the blood of Christ, and for those of us who also are resting in Jesus' righteousness, we will see them again. This is more certain than all the temporary things that seem so certain but are not.
"Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live,
And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Believest thou this?"
John 5:25, 26
