The Road Called Holiness

 Isaiah 32-35; James 2 

“And a highway will be there; it will be called the Way of Holiness. The unclean will not journey on it; it will be for those who walk in that Way; wicked fools will not go about on it. No lion will be there…But only the redeemed will walk there, and the ransomed of the Lord will return. They will enter Zion with singing;…”

Isaiah 35:8-10

The road to Zion is for people who have been redeemed, set free from a life of living for sin and self, and who now live for God. They have been ransomed from the kingdom of darkness by the blood of Christ. Now they walk on the road called Holiness because Christ has made them holy and set them apart to walk in his ways.

Does that describe what God has done in our lives?

Can we walk on this road called Holiness and still live on mission in the mess and brokenness of our world?

Jesus walked this road, on mission, as our example. Holiness describes the life of those who have been redeemed, ransomed from sin, and who choose to walk in God’s ways.

“Jesus, thank you for setting me free to walk with you, for your glory.”
