The Advent season reminds us that Christ's first coming brought both comfort and joy to a broken world. When the angel Gabriel announced to Mary that she would bear the Messiah, he revealed a King unlike any earthly ruler - one who would reign forever with gentleness and justice. Though Jesus entered the world humbly in a stable, this humble birth leads to eternal glory as the King of kings. Isaiah prophesied that this Messiah would not break bruised reeds or snuff out flickering wicks, showing His tender care for the broken and weary. The same Jesus who gently heals wounded hearts is the mighty King whose kingdom will have no end, bringing perfect justice to all nations.
