On that day, the Root of Jesse will stand as a banner for the peoples. The nations will rally to Him and His resting place will be glorious.
Isaiah 11:10
Now as they were speaking to the people, the priests, the commanders of the temple police, and the saddunees confronted them because they were provoked that they were teaching the people and proclaiming the resurrection from the dead, using Jesus as THE example.
Acts 4:1-2
We see and know of many who have been provoked because of The Name of Christ Jesus. It is the ones who know His Resting place though, because of the provocation brought on by His Name that make it such a transformational, glorious, healing, beautiful, enjoyable experience. You are His witness but never forget He is your witness, your Banner and Your example.
Isaiah 42:6-9, Ephesians 2:10
"In a larger sense we cannot dedicate, we cannot consecrate, we cannot hollow this ground. The brave men, living and dead who struggled here have consecrated it far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note nor long remember what we say here but it can never forget what they did here. It is up to us the living, rather to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have so nobly advanced... that this nation under God, shall have a new birth of freedom and that the government of the people, by the people and for the people shall not perish from the earth."
Abraham Lincoln. The Gettysburg Address, November 19, 1863
