Sermon - "Rejoicing with Creation" - Amanda Hildebrand
Yesaya/Isaiah 55:12-13 (BYSB, CEB)
“Muzasohokana ibyishimo, muzashorerwa amahoro muvayo. Imisozi n'udusozi bizaturagara biririmbire imbere yanyu, ibiti byose byo mu gasozi bizakoma mu mashyi. Mu cyimbo cy'umufatangwe hazamera umuberoshi, mu cyimbo cy'umukeri hazamera umuhadasi, bizubahisha izina ry'Uwiteka, bizaba ikimenyetso gihoraho kitazakurwaho.”
Yes, you will go out with celebration, and you will be brought back in peace. Even the mountains and the hills will burst into song before you; all the trees of the field will clap their hands. In place of the thorn the cypress will grow; in place of the nettle the myrtle will grow. This will attest to the LORD’s stature, an enduring reminder that won’t be removed.
