Advent Sermon
Okay - I like the idea...I'm fuzzy on the details, of course, but I like the general concept...
What do you think Isaiah thought when he wrote that stuff. I mean, yeah, the whole "day of the Lord" thing sounds great - whole new world...the evil are wiped out...everything is good and people live in the presence of God...
But that whole suffering thing really stinks... "by his stripes we are healed..."
Of course, Isaiah entered into the whole thing kind of wondering what is going on...
"Here I am, Lord!"
Okay - so, you're going to talk and talk and talk, they won't listen. Their eyes and ears and hearts will be closed. No matter what you tell them - even though it comes RIGHT FROM GOD - they won't care...
Um... "How long, O Lord?"
