Being the Church #43

Isaiah 2: 2 It shall come to pass in the latter days
    that the mountain of the house of the Lord
shall be established as the highest of the mountains,
    and shall be lifted up above the hills;
and all the nations shall flow to it,
3     and many peoples shall come, and say:
“Come, let us go up to the mountain of the Lord,
    to the house of the God of Jacob,
that he may teach us his ways
    and that we may walk in his paths.”
For out of Zion shall go forth the law,
    and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem.
4 He shall judge between the nations,
    and shall decide disputes for many peoples;
and they shall beat their swords into plowshares,
    and their spears into pruning hooks;
nation shall not lift up sword against nation,
    neither shall they learn war anymore.
5 O house of Jacob, come, let us walk
    in the light of the Lord.
We've talked before about the importance of humility among God's people. Closely related to that is having a teachable spirit.  In this passage they people of Israel had strayed far away from the will and Word of God, and they were being called back to come and be taught. The result would be restoration of relationships and a presence of peace.  Do you have a teachable spirit?
