When your plans run out, Jesus is just getting started. In a world obsessed with strategies, hacks, and self-help, Isaiah 9 and John 1 reveal a different kind of wisdom: a child called “Wonderful Counselor,” God’s own miraculous wisdom stepping into our crisis. Like King Ahaz, we often want God to bless the plan we already made—but Jesus offers a trade. Bring Him the places where your plans are failing, and discover that His light, His guidance, and His story begin right where yours runs out.
