The Day All Suffering Will End - What We’re Waiting For - Advent Week 2 | Breathe & Receive | 36

As moms, when our children face difficulties, pain, and hurt in this life, we can point them to the hope we have in the new beginning when there will be no more pain and suffering when Jesus returns.

 

As followers of Jesus, one day we will experience the most beautiful beginning. All things will be made new, and Jesus, who is love, will rule and reign forever. 

 

Waiting is hard. But we have the most wonderful person to wait for: our beloved King Jesus who loves us so much that he died for us so he could spend forever with us. 

 

Meditate on this hope-filled message from Isaiah 11:1-10 (NIV).

A shoot will come up from the stump of Jesse; from his roots a Branch will bear fruit. The Spirit of the LORD will rest on him— the Spirit of wisdom and of understanding, the Spirit of counsel and of might, the Spirit of the knowledge and fear of the LORD—and he will delight in the fear of the LORD.

He will not judge by what he sees with his eyes, or decide by what he hears with his ears; but with righteousness he will judge the needy, with justice he will give decisions for the poor of the earth. He will strike the earth with the rod of his mouth; with the breath of his lips he will slay the wicked. Righteousness will be his belt and faithfulness the sash around his waist. 

The wolf will live with the lamb, the leopard will lie down with the goat, the calf and the lion and the yearling together; and a little child will lead them. The cow will feed with the bear, their young will lie down together, and the lion will eat straw like the ox. The infant will play near the cobra’s den, and the young child will put its hand into the viper’s nest. 

They will neither harm nor destroy on all my holy mountain, for the earth will be filled with the knowledge of the LORD as the waters cover the sea. In that day the Root of Jesse will stand as a banner for the peoples; the nations will rally to him, and his resting place will be glorious.

 

This is first verse of the passage in French, as we take a moment to pray for our sisters and brothers in Christ all around the world. 

Puis un rameau poussera de la souche d'Isaï, un rejeton de ses racines portera du fruit.
