God in the Dark
For Advent we'll be considering four passages from the Old Testament prophets that anticipated the coming of God's Spirit-anointed Messiah-King, who we know as Jesus Christ. In Isaiah 9, we get a picture of God's light entering the dark, breaking the chains of His people's oppression, and sending a Son to rule in perfect wisdom, strength, and peace. We learn that God doesn't fear the dark, but enters it with us to dispel it.
