Readings: John 1:4-5, Psalm 25, Isaiah 11:1-10

Light into darkness…

Life into death…

It is a story of breakthroughs. Isaiah writes of a coming day when peace will trump all.
The wolf with the lamb,
The leopard with the goat,
The calf with the lion

Hard to imagine? Try this on for size: King David describes his current reality… he’s lonely, afflicted, and troubled…

filled with anguish, affliction and distress… and yet, “My hope is in you!”

We are celebrating the Prince of Peace: He has come, is here, and will return again.

He points us to the day when all will be made right AND today is our peace, no matter what the situation.

Read Psalm 25 again as a prayer.
