This message explores the deep sense that something is wrong in the world and within us, tracing that ache back to humanity’s broken relationship with God and the resulting fracture of creation itself. It looks at the longing woven into every human soul, the ancient experience of exile, and the prophetic hope Isaiah spoke over a hurting people—hope ultimately fulfilled in Jesus, who came to heal, rescue, and restore. Even as we live in a world still marked by darkness, suffering, and restlessness, Advent reminds us that the light has come and will come again, and that Jesus is the promised One who will one day make all things new.
