IJUMAA TAREHE 21 MEI 2021, ASUBUHI
Isaya 64:1-2
1 Laiti ungepasua mbingu, na kushuka, ili milima iteteme mbele zako;
2 kama vile moto uchomapo vichaka, na moto uchemshapo maji; ili kuwajulisha adui zako jina lako, mataifa wakatetemeke mbele zako!
Kungojea ahadi ya Baba;
Isaya alitangaza habari njema ya ukombozi kwa Taifa la Mungu akitokewa na Roho Mtakatifu (sura ya 61). Baadaye analeta uthibitisho wa wokovu kwa Taifa la Mungu (sura 62)
Kisasi cha Mungu kinatangazwa (63:1-6) na ndipo rehema ya Mungu inakumbukwa (63:6-14)
Kuanzia sura ya 63 mstari wa 15 hadi kuja somo tulilosoma, ni sala ya toba baada ya kisasi cha Mungu kwa waliomkosea. Neno tulilosoma linaonesha ukuu wa Mungu muumbaji, mwokozi, anayesamehe dhambi.
Leo asubuhi tunaitwa kuishi maisha ya wokovu kama tulivyoitwa, tukijua ya kuwa hukumu ya mwisho ipo. Toba iwe kwetu, la sivyo tutaangamia.
Siku njema.
FRIDAY 21ST MAY 2021, MORNING
Isaiah 64:1-2 [NIV]
1 Oh, that you would rend the heavens and come down,
that the mountains would tremble before you!
2 As when fire sets twigs ablaze
and causes water to boil,
come down to make your name known to your enemies
and cause the nations to quake before you!
Isaiah proclaimed the good news of redemption to the Nation of God through the Holy Spirit (chapter 61). He later brings proof of salvation to God's Nation (chapter 62)
God's vengeance is announced (63: 1-6) and then God's mercy is remembered (63: 6-14)
From chapter 63 verse 15 to the lesson we read, it is a prayer of repentance after God's retribution for those who have wronged him. The word we read shows the greatness of God the creator, the saviour, who forgives sins.
This morning we are reminded to live a life of salvation as we are called, knowing that the final judgment exists. We should repent, or we will perish.
