The Light Of Christmas- "Jesus- Our Wonderful Counselor" Isaiah 8:19-9:7

The season of Advent is the period of time between Thanksgiving and Christmas day… it’s a season of expectation, a time for us to prepare our hearts and reflect on the gift of Christ’s mercy and redemption. As Christians, we still find ourselves looking for the return of Jesus, maybe now more than ever. As times and seasons change. We find ourselves in the midst of more lockdowns. We find ourselves navigating a culture of fear and control. We find ourselves longing for relief and a return to some “normalcy” in life. We worry about our future and the world that we must leave to our children. We are the most connected culture in the history of the world, yet we find ourselves to be the most lonely. We long for hope, yet hope seems to be a lost hope in this season of uncertainty. BUT We are not a people who walk in darkness. We are not a people void of hope. There will be seasons of darkness in this world, BUT we are the children of LIGHT. So in this short season of advent, we, like the Jews living under the oppression of Roman government, find ourselves longing for the soon return of King Jesus. The One Who will bring Judgement And Justice And Equity The One Who will forever destroy the power of sin and injustice!
