When We're Running Out of Hope, God is at Work. Matthew 11:1-11 and Isaiah 43:19-21

Advent 2 (Peace) Are you The One who is to come? Or, is there another? John the Baptist asks these 2 pivotal, important questions from prison he wishes to have resolved with Jesus. In our day and time we might expect a simple 'Yes' or 'No' response to those prompts, but Jesus answer is not so simple or straightforward. Instead, Jesus quotes Isaiah and cues John to the prophecies said about the coming Messiah which are all coming true in Jesus. In the midst of our fears, we lean into Hope and Peace this Advent - knowing that God is at work.
