Isaiah 62:6-12
Jesus is born! “See,” Isaiah says, “your salvation comes.” That’s what the name Jesus means: “He saves,” “He rescues,” “He delivers!”
In this passage, the prophet assures the people that sentinels are posted. Keep an eye out. Because though we are living through a time of tumult and disarray, this is turning into a time of procession, of entering gates and celebrating the coming of the Lord’s salvation.
