“A Vulnerable Hope”
Isaiah paints a picture of hope for the nation of Israel with an image of a tree–not a mighty, stable, flourishing oak but, instead, a small, vulnerable shoot coming up from a truncated stump. We’ll wonder together about this “underwhelming” good news and celebrate the surprising hope God offers.
