The Holy One of Israel: Comfort

Isaiah 40:1-2  Comfort, comfort my people, says your God.  (2)  Speak tenderly to Jerusalem, and cry to her that her warfare is ended, that her iniquity is pardoned, that she has received from the LORD's hand double for all her sins.

Everytime we listen to the news and leave with a heavy heart we feel a small part of what the Jews were feeling after their Babylonian captivity. Depression, despair, hopelessness, and on and on the heartache continues. But God has promised Comfort. That comfort would not be a free nation, financial prosperity, or safe boarders. It would be a child. He would be their comfort.
