Isaiah 2:3 NIV
Many peoples will come and say,
“Come, let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, to the temple of the God of Jacob.
He will teach us his ways, so that we may walk in his paths.”
The law will go out from Zion, the word of the Lord from Jerusalem.
The invitation, “Come, let us go up,” reflects a collective desire for spiritual growth and transformation. It emphasizes a universal longing to learn God’s ways and live in alignment with His will. The promise that “the law will go out from Zion” and “the word of the Lord from Jerusalem” highlights Jerusalem’s role as the center of God’s revelation, spreading His truth and guidance to the entire world.
For the church, this verse is a powerful reminder of our mission to draw people closer to God, teach His Word, and inspire them to walk in His paths. It encourages believers to seek God wholeheartedly and to share His light with others, creating a community of faith that mirrors His kingdom.
