The Promised Christ

Isaiah 9:6-7

Sin has resulted in our world being one of darkness and disappointment.
To his people dwelling in a fallen world, God made a promise to bring an
end to all of our fears and trials and griefs. That promise was fulfilled in
Jesus.

So… rather than trying to find all of our satisfaction in this world, or trying
to solve the problem on our own, we need to look to Jesus.

The context: Isaiah 8:22-9:1
