And there will be a highway called the Way of Holiness. The unclean will not travel it—only those who walk in the Way—and fools will not stray onto it.A highway will be there, a road, and it will be called “The Holy Way”. The unclean shall not pass over it, but it will be for those who walk in the Way. Wicked fools shall not go there.And an highway shall be there, and a way, and it shall be called The way of holiness; the unclean shall not pass over it; but it shall be for those: the wayfaring men, though fools, shall not err therein.And a highway shall be there, and a way, and it shall be called The way of holiness; the unclean shall not pass over it; but it shall be for the redeemed: the wayfaring men, yea fools, shall not err therein.

… It wasn't anything else but blood. Isaiah chapter 35 verse 8 tells us, A highway shall be there, looking to the future, 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. That's a great word. The word means even if a really slow, dense person chooses to get on the way of God, he'll do just fine. Isn't that amazing? I thank God for that. We don't all have to be as smart as Elon Musk or Einstein to get to heaven. You might even be considered a fool. Maybe you have your life, you make the wrong decisions every time. Guess what? Newsflash. You can start making the right decision by determining today that Jesus is going to be the way of your life. And everything changes after that. Everything changes. Number two is this. Our only hope is this fact, that Jesus is the truth. …
… way, uh, the song that our choir sings and we sing the holy highway is one of my favorite songs. Isaiah 35, VERSES 8 AND following. Here our Lord is talking about the, the, the way that Jesus is, in the Old Testament, he's prophesying this holy highway. And listen to it. God says, and a highway shall be there and away, and it shall be called the way of holiness. The unclean shall not pass over it, but it shall be for those the wayfaring men. Though fools shall not ere therein, no lion shall be there, nor any ravenous beast shall go up thereon. It shall not be found there, but the redeemed shall walk there, and the ransomed of the Lord shall return and come to Zion with songs and everlasting joy upon their heads. They shall obtain joy and gladness and sorrow and sighing shall flee away. It is a delightful way. Why? Because it's a clean way. Verse eight, the unclean shall not pass over it. That's what he says. It's the way of holiness. …
3. Your thus restraining prayer before God is not only inconsistent with the love, but also with the fear, of God. It is an argument that you cast off fear, as is manifest by that text, Job xv. 4. “Yea, thou easiest off fear, and restrainest prayer before God.” While you thus live in the transgression of so plain a command of God, you evidently show, that there is no fear of God before your eyes. Psal. xxxvi. 1. “The transgression of the wicked saith within my heart, that there is no fear of God before his eyes.” 4. Consider how living in such a neglect is consistent with leading a holy life. We are abundantly instructed in Scripture, that true Christians do lead a holy life; that without holiness no man shall see the Lord, Heb. xii. 14. and that every one that hath this hope in him, purifieth himself, even’ as Christ is pure, 1 John iii. 3. In Prov. xvi. 17. it is said, The highway of the upright is to depart from evil, i. e. the common beaten road in which all the godly travel. To the like purpose is Isa. xxxv. 8. “A highway shall be there, and a way, and it shall be called the way of holiness; the unclean shall not pass over it, but it shall be for those:” i. e. those redeemed persons spoken of in the foregoing verses. It is spoken of in Rom. viii. 1. as the character of all believers, that they walk not after the flesh, but after the spirit. …
