Reader’s Guide: “The Word for Today” Tuesday, April 2, 2013 Read – Isaiah 12 Isaiah continues to sing of the restoration of God in our reading for today. Well aware of the wrath of God that marks our present existence Isaiah longs for a new day when God’s wrath has come to an end and the dawn of salvation has arrived. As Easter people we understand the accomplishment of Jesus on the cross and through the empty tomb as the arrival – a foretaste of what it to come – the arrival of the kingdom Isaiah longed to see. Easter is a time for us to sing too of God’s presence in our midst.
