Iesaïah 43:10-13

In these verses, God speaks to His people with calm strength, yet also with absolute authority. He does not begin by speaking about the difficulties of His people, nor about their enemies, nor even about their weaknesses. He begins by reminding them of who He is. That is often what we lack: not more information, but a clearer vision of God.

God shares neither His glory, nor His throne, nor His salvation!

In the midst of false supports and visible or hidden idols, God affirms that He alone is God, the only Savior, the One who speaks and acts without ever failing.

Christians today are called to be witnesses to this truth, and not to compromise with the spirit of the age.

This passage sweeps away every illusion: no true help can come from man, no power can stay the hand of God, no voice can contradict what He has decided. When God saves, no one can undo His work. When God speaks, everything else fades. That is why the believer has no need to tremble before the world or before events: his God reigns, delivers, and remains without rival.

As we draw near to Easter, we can already remember the sacrifice of Christ, but also His resurrection and His exaltation at the right hand of the Father. This is our ultimate hope: to know that we too shall be raised with a glorious, incorruptible body, and will be with Him for eternity. For if “Christ has not been raised, we are of all men most miserable!” (1 Cor. 15:17)

Jesus reminds us in John 14:3:
“...and I will take you to Myself, that where I am, there you may be also.”

Let us therefore keep this hope alive within us!
