"He will swallow up death in victory; and the Lord God will wipe away tears from off all faces; and the rebuke of his people shall he take away from off all the earth: for the Lord hath spoken it.
And it shall be said in that day, Lo, this is our God; we have waited for him, and he will save us: this is the Lord; we have waited for him, we will be glad and rejoice in his salvation."
Isaiah 25:8-9
The whole idea of victory over death is powerful. Being able to continue past that ending that seems permanent, and find that there are other stories and other chapters for us... that seems like the ultimate hope. Today, let's remember who offers that hope to us, and let's wait for the Lord's second coming and his salvation... and while we wait, let's work to do his will and make the world around us better and more loving than it was before, or than it is now.
