The people who walk in darkness
will see a great light.
For those who live in a land of deep darkness,
a light will shine.
Isaiah 9:2

We live in a broken, hostile world. Yet Isaiah is clear that God will not leave us in darkness. Jesus came into the world and began to unwind our brokenness, and he will come again to rule, bring peace, and gather his people to himself.
In the book of Isaiah, the nation of Israel is dealing with the consequences of ongoing sin, yet the prophet holds out the hope of a coming Messiah. As we celebrate the first advent of Jesus, we can also look forward to his return as our King.
