The Highway of Holiness



A highway shall be there, and a road, And it shall be called the Highway of Holiness. The unclean shall not pass over it, But it shall be for others. Whoever walks the road, although a fool, Shall not go astray.  – Isaiah 35v8

This caught my eye because I just like the sound of Highway of Holiness. Though it speaks of a physical road that leads to the future New Jerusalem I think there is a great illustration for today and our journey to our spiritual Jerusalem.

The Highway of Holiness is for the, well, holy. The Highway of Holiness may be described as the path we travel as we go through life. Though not perfectly holy, we have been declared holy through the blood of Christ.

As we travel this Highway of Holiness we need to examine our own lives to see if the befit the traveller on that road. I am declared holy at the cross, but does my life reflect that. Do I look like a traveller on the Highway of Holiness?

How should a traveller on the Highway of Holiness walk. Not perfectly, because we still bear the burden of the flesh, but according to the word of God and reflecting Christ’s holiness in our lives.

I hope that people can see what road I am on by the life I live today.
