有一條稱為聖路的大道（賽35章）

在那裏必有一條大道、稱為聖路．污穢人不得經過、必專為贖民行走、行路的人雖愚昧、也不至失迷。（賽 35：8）

本章是預言末世真教會的景況，可以對照啟示錄21章：

我聽見有大聲音從寶座出來說：「看哪、神的帳幕在人間．他要與人同住、他們要作他的子民、神要親自與他們同在、作他們神．神要擦去他們一切的眼淚．不再有死亡、也不再有悲哀、哭號、疼痛、因為以前的事都過去了。」(啟 21：3-4）

正如以賽亞書這裡的經文：

曠野和乾旱之地、必然歡喜．沙漠也必快樂．又像玫瑰開花。必開花繁盛、樂上加樂、而且歡呼．利巴嫩的榮耀、並迦密與沙崙的華美、必賜給他．人必看見耶和華的榮耀、我們神的華美。（賽 35：1-2）

「曠野和乾旱之地」是信主前的心靈，在信主之後，「必開花繁盛、樂上加樂、而且歡呼」。而且在神的教會裡：

那時瞎子的眼必睜開、聾子的耳必開通。那時瘸子必跳躍像鹿、啞吧的舌頭必能歌唱．在曠野必有水發出、在沙漠必有河湧流。（賽 35：5-6）

「瞎子」就是指心靈被蒙蔽的人，這是說信主之後，「眼必睜開」，也就是藉由聖靈的引導而明白救贖的奧秘。不但如此，看似艱深的真理竟然聽得懂，原本行不出來的道，現在卻能「跳耀像鹿」般行道。曠野有水，沙漠有河流，都是不可能的事，如今都變為可能。

「在那裏必有一條大道、稱為聖路」，這是贖民走的路，是救贖的道路，走在這路上必得蒙救贖。這條救贖之路，就是神同在的末世真教會，通往永生天國。只要是被主救贖的「贖民」，也就是真的天國國民，就能享受這樣的屬靈之樂。即使艱困的環境因素尚未解除，卻因神國在心，可以有在地如天的喜樂，擁有超越困境的歡喜。正如同被鞭打、又被下在監裡的保羅和西拉，在半夜心情最容易沮喪的時刻、在黑暗的地牢裡，竟還可以禱告歌頌神：

眾人就一同起來攻擊他們．官長吩咐剝了他們的衣裳、用棍打。打了許多棍、便將他們下在監裏、囑咐禁卒嚴緊看守。禁卒領了這樣的命、就把他們下在內監裏、兩腳上了木狗。約在半夜、保羅和西拉、禱告唱詩讚美神．眾囚犯也側耳而聽。（徒 16：22-25）

但是要能走在這條稱為「聖路」的大道上，享受超越的屬靈之樂，必須「聖潔」：「污穢人不得經過、必專為贖民行走、行路的人雖愚昧、也不至失迷。」

今天是個罪惡且污穢的環境，睜開眼所充斥的盡是淫亂、罪惡的訊息。這些罪惡就如同心中的雜草一樣，必須每日「除草」。否則「斬草不除根、春風吹又生」，這些極度自我與情慾的小草，若不天天「斬草除根」，任憑小草存留，自認為僅是小草般的小罪不去在意，假以時日，「芥菜種也會變大樹」。許多人無法理解小小的芥菜種，發了芽也不過是蔬菜，怎會變大樹呢？不要懷疑，就是真的會變成芥菜「樹」！

凡屬基督耶穌的人、是已經把肉體、連肉體的邪情私慾、同釘在十字架上了。我們若是靠聖靈得生、就當靠聖靈行事。不要貪圖虛名、彼此惹氣、互相嫉妒。（加 5：24-26）

每天讀聖經，用聖經真理將心中的雜草斬草除根，天天將罪污洗淨，成為聖潔的人，才能天天走在稱為聖路的大道上，最終能抵達天國，享受創世以來所預備的福氣。

在那裏必沒有獅子、猛獸也不登這路、在那裏都遇不見．只有贖民在那裏行走。並且耶和華救贖的民必歸回、歌唱來到錫安．永樂必歸到他們的頭上、他們必得着歡喜快樂、憂愁歎息盡都逃避。（賽 35：9-10）

There is a great roadway called the Highway of Holiness(Isaiah 35)

May 27, 2026 

“A highway will be there, a roadway, And it will be called the Highway of Holiness. The unclean will not travel on it, But it will be for the one who walks that way, And fools will not wander on it.” (Isaiah 35:8 NASB2020)

This chapter prophesies the state of the True Church in the last days, which can be compared with Revelation 21:

“And I heard a loud voice from the throne, saying, “Behold, the tabernacle of God is among the people, and He will dwell among them, and they shall be His people, and God Himself will be among them, and He will wipe away every tear from their eyes; and there will no longer be any death; there will no longer be any mourning, or crying, or pain; the first things have passed away.”” (Revelation 21:3-4 NASB2020)

As the verses in Isaiah here read:

“The wilderness and the desert will rejoice, And the desert will shout for joy and blossom; Like the crocus It will blossom profusely And rejoice with joy and jubilation. The glory of Lebanon will be given to it, The majesty of Carmel and Sharon. They will see the glory of the Lord, The majesty of our God.” (Isaiah 35:1-2 NASB2020)

The “wilderness and desert” represent the heart before faith. After faith, “it will blossom profusely, and rejoice with joy and jubilation .” Moreover, in God’s church:

“Then the eyes of those who are blind will be opened, And the ears of those who are deaf will be unstopped. Then those who limp will leap like a deer, And the tongue of those who cannot speak will shout for joy. For waters will burst forth in the wilderness, And streams in the desert.” (Isaiah 35:5-6 NASB2020)

“Blind” refers to those whose hearts are blinded. This means that after faith, “their eyes will be opened,” that is, they will understand the mystery of salvation through the guidance of the Holy Spirit. Not only that, seemingly profound truths will become understandable, and ways that were previously impossible will now be walked “leaping like a deer.” Water in the wilderness and streams in the desert, previously impossible, will now become possible.

"A highway will be there, and it will be called the Highway of Holiness." This is the road the redeemed will walk, the road of redemption. Those who walk on this road will be redeemed. This road of redemption is the True Church of the last days, with the abidance of God, leading to the eternal Kingdom of Heaven. Anyone who is a "redeemed" by the Lord, that is, a true citizen of the Kingdom of Heaven, can enjoy this spiritual joy. Even if the difficult circumstances have not yet been resolved, because God's Kingdom is in their heart, they can have joy on earth as it is in heaven, possessing a joy that transcends hardship. Just like Paul and Silas, who were beaten up and imprisoned, even in the dark prison at midnight when their spirits were most easily down, they could still pray and sing praises to God:

“The crowd joined in an attack against them, and the chief magistrates tore their robes off them and proceeded to order them to be beaten with rods. When they had struck them with many blows, they threw them into prison, commanding the jailer to guard them securely; and he, having received such a command, threw them into the inner prison and fastened their feet in the stocks. Now about midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns of praise to God, and the prisoners were listening to them;”(Acts 16:22-25 NASB2020)

But to walk on this great road called the "Highway of Holiness," and enjoy transcendent spiritual joy, one must be "holy": " The unclean will not travel on it, But it will be for the one who walks that way, And fools will not wander on it."

Today is a sinful and defiled environment; our eyes is filled with messages of lust and sin. These sins are like weeds in our hearts, and must be "weeded" daily. Otherwise, "if you don’t uproot weeds at the root, they will grow back in the spring breeze." These weeds of extreme self-centeredness and lust, if not "weeded and uprooted" daily. If a small weed is allowed to remain, and ignored as merely minor sins, will eventually "grow from a mustard seed into a tree." Many people cannot understand how a small mustard seed, once sprouted, can become a tree. Do not doubt it; it truly will become a mustard "tree"!

“Now those who belong to Christ Jesus crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. If we live by the Spirit, let’s follow the Spirit as well. Let’s not become boastful, challenging one another, envying one another.” (Galatians 5:24-26 NASB2020)

Reading the Bible daily, using biblical truth to eradicate the weeds in our hearts, washing away sin daily, and becoming holy, allows us to walk daily on the roadway called the Highway of Holiness, ultimately reaching the Kingdom of Heaven and enjoying the blessings prepared since the creation of the world.

“No lion will be there, Nor will any vicious animal go up on it; They will not be found there. But the redeemed will walk there, And the redeemed of the Lord will return And come to Zion with joyful shouting, And everlasting joy will be on their heads. They will obtain gladness and joy, And sorrow and sighing will flee away.” (Isaiah 35:9-10 NASB2020)
