—Isaiah 11:1-10
by: Nathanael Lawton.
The description of peace in verses 6 through 9 stretches our human imaginations that are filled with the strife of this world. This peace is a direct result of Christ’s righteousness, wisdom, might, and compassion on the earth. He will judge fairly, giving equity to the meek, but also slaying the wicked—for whom we know there is no peace (Isaiah 57). If this is what produces peace, where should our hope for peace be? It should be in the Lord, whose reign brings peace.
