We are not children to a lesser God
Screaming from the pages of Scripture Isaiah 64 nearly finishes his prophetic book as a terrible cry to a deaf God.
Heaven's silence is foreboding to the listening. It mocks prayers and makes the universe a frighteningly forsaken place.
This desperate call is for God to re-enter His world. To rend the heavens is both a plea for judgement and an appeal for salvation.
Oh, that You would rend the heavens and come down, that the mountains would tremble before You! As when fire sets twigs ablaze and causes water to boil, come down to make Your name known to Your enemies...(Isaiah 64:1-2a)
God knows and sees, the heavens are torn and He descends as Jesus. Easter is His response. Heaven has not been silent, inactive or inattentive. Easter has entered all lives, that all may hear from Heaven to receive from Heaven. Arriving through Jesus is a new world, but none are forced to enter it.
Easter introduces the involved God, the God of righteousness and not the god of disinterest.
We are not the children of a lesser God.
