In That Day Series Graphic with Shoot Coming out of Tree Trunk

In a time when dark judgment loomed over Israel, Isaiah spoke words of light. While the nation would be reduced to a stump, a vision of a tender shoot foretold the hope of new life—a future King coming to redeem his people. Today, we still live in the space between darkness and light, and our landscape often seems bleak. But we can look forward to our King’s return with confident expectation, for all will be made right in that day.
