December 4, 2022 | "O Come, Thou Branch of Jesse's Tree!"
A major theme of advent is the relationship of Jesus’ 1st coming to his 2nd coming.
What we saw last week in Isaiah 2:1-5 has already been partially fulfilled in Jesus. But it’s not completely fulfilled in Jesus — yet! So we have reason to cry out, along with God’s people from every time and place, “O Come, O Come, Emmanuel!”
This week in Isaiah 11:1-10, the prophet proclaims that Jesse’s Branch — the promised Messiah — would come in the power of God’s Spirit to do two things:
- bring righteousness and justice among people
- restore all of creation to perfection
Jesus has already fulfilled this in part. Because he has, we have certain hope that he will come again to fulfill the rest. And this hope gives us courage and power to love the world while we wait.
