The Land of the Strong
Isaiah 33:9
22) “The earth mourneth and languisheth: Lebanon is ashamed and hewn down: Sharon is like a wilderness; and Bashan and Carmel shake off their fruits.”
Sharon was a rich and beautiful land between the central mountains and the Mediterranean. It stretched from Joppa northward to Mount Carmel. The Rose of Sharon is undoubtedly the beautiful and sweet white narcissus, which grows in abundance on the plain. There are wonderful oak forests there in addition to fine pastureland, but in this land of Sharon, there is nothing as beautiful and breathtaking as this Rose of Sharon. Rising up uniquely above everything else in the valley. Kind of like our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
Yours in Christ,
Pastor Jeff
