During Advent, it can seem like Christians rummage through the Old Testament, pull out obscure verses and say, “Hey! I just found something about Jesus buried deep in the book of Isaiah!”
But those promises aren’t actually obscure. They were given to real people whose lives were crumbling around them, people who were trying to find their way in a broken world. Advent invites us to join those people and look forward to the day when God will make good on his promises.
