Isaiah 25:8-9 He will swallow up death in victory; and the Lord God will wipe away tears from off all faces; and the rebuke of his people shall he take away from off all the earth: for the Lord hath spoken it . And it shall be said in that day, Lo, this is our God; we have waited for him, and he will save us: this is the Lord ; we have waited for him, we will be glad and rejoice in his salvation.
When we sing the old hymn Victory in Jesus, we are singing the truth. We should think back to the battles the Lord has fought for us, and we enjoyed the victories. We may not be aware of all of them.
We have victory over the terror of the grave. We have victory over trials and broken hearts. A victorious day is coming when Jesus will wipe tears off our faces.
Victory demands a high price. The victory believers have in Jesus is ours because God paid the price of sending His Own Son to die for our sins on the cross. Obviously, the price for our salvation wasn’t cheap, but it’s free to believers. All that’s required is faith in Jesus, His Plans, His Purposes and His Power.
