Advent: Isaiah 9:2 by ric gustafson
The people of Israel were in the darkness of exile. They felt judgment and abandonment. But in the darkness, God brings a new message. Isaiah 9:2 says the people who walked in darkness have seen a great light those who lived of deep darkness on them light has shined. God's message is a promise and hope. That message is that a great light has shined upon them.
Darkness can overcome us. We need a new message. We need a promise of hope that is beyond darkness.
On this first day of Advent, we need the light of Jesus. Jesus came to be that light. He died on a cross. Jesus gives us that light of grace. Jesus loves us more than anything else.
