Behold My Servant

Good morning — and welcome to Mission Church! It’s such a joy to worship with you as we enter into this Advent season — which is a time for us to pause, to reflect, and to celebrate the promises of God fulfilled in Jesus Christ.

Let me ask you — Have you ever felt like you’re waiting for something big to happen? The truth is — waiting can be hard. It can be frustrating — even discouraging at times. But waiting is also a central part of our faith. In fact — from the very beginning — God’s people have been a people who wait.

Our waiting started in the Garden of Eden — right after sin shattered the world, God made a promise - in Genesis 3:15 - God said to the serpent:

Genesis 3:15 (CSB)

15 I will put hostility between you and the woman, and between your offspring and her offspring. He will strike your head, and you will strike his heel.

That was the first promise of a Savior—the promise of a Son who would come to defeat sin and death and make all things right again. And from that moment, humanity has been waiting. Waiting for this promised Son. Waiting for the one who would restore what was broken.

Then — finally — it happened—God sent His Son, Jesus, and the waiting was over. The promised Savior had come! But here’s the thing: even though Jesus fulfilled so much in His first coming, we’re still a people who wait. You See — after His resurrection, Jesus ascended to heaven with the promise to return again.

So — here we are — living between Christ’s first Advent and His second, longing for the day when He will return and finish the work He began.

And this is why Advent is so important — for —it reminds us of two powerful truths: first, that Jesus came to bring light and salvation. And second, that He will come again to make all things new.And it provides us with a time to pause and reflect on the brokenness of our world—and the hope we have because of Jesus. So, as we wait, we don’t wait without hope. We wait knowing the promise has already begun to be fulfilled. And because of Jesus, the waiting will not last forever.

Now — for this Advent season — we are going to spend our time in some of the most hope-filled parts of Scripture: The Servant Songs of Isaiah. These beautiful passages are going to show us God’s plan to meet the deepest needs of humanity and lead us straight to Jesus, the one who fulfills God’s promises perfectly.

So let’s begin by opening our Bibles to the first of these Servant Songs found in Isaiah 42.

When you find it, and if you are able to, please stand for the reading of God’s Word.

Isaiah 42:1–7 (CSB)

1 “This is my servant; I strengthen him,

this is my chosen one; I delight in him.

I have put my Spirit on him;

he will bring justice to the nations.

2 He will not cry out or shout

or make his voice heard in the streets.

3 He will not break a bruised reed,

and he will not put out a smoldering wick;

he will faithfully bring justice.

4 He will not grow weak or be discouraged

until he has established justice on earth.

The coasts and islands will wait for his instruction.”

5 This is what God, the Lord, says—

who created the heavens and stretched them out,

who spread out the earth and what comes from it,

who gives breath to the people on it

and spirit to those who walk on it—

6 “I am the Lord. I have called you

for a righteous purpose,

and I will hold you by your hand.

I will watch over you, and I will appoint you

to be a covenant for the people

and a light to the nations,

7 in order to open blind eyes,

to bring out prisoners from the dungeon,

and those sitting in darkness from the prison house.

This is the Word of the Lord. Praise be to God.

Let’s Pray

Have you ever felt the weight of the world’s brokenness?

Maybe it’s the injustice you see on the news—conflict, oppression, senseless violence that seems unstoppable. Or maybe it’s closer to home. Maybe life has beaten you down, and if you’re honest, you feel bruised, burdened, maybe even depressed. You’ve tried to keep going — but you feel like a smoldering wick—barely holding on—wondering how much longer you can endure.

If we’re honest, I think we’ve all felt this way at some point. We’ve all experienced what it feels like to live in a deeply broken world. Broken systems. Broken relationships. Broken people. And no matter how hard we try, it feels like we just can’t fix it. And yet—deep inside—there’s a longing in all of us. A longing for justice. A longing for healing. A longing for the light to break through this darkness. But here’s the problem—as much as we long for these things, we’re part of the brokenness.

We want justice, but so often we contribute to the injustice. We long for healing, but we wound others with our words and our actions. We search for light, but we’re drawn to things that only deepen the darkness. And so, what do we do? Well—we try to fix it ourselves. We look for hope, for justice, and for light in all the wrong places—in the idols of power, politics, self-reliance — all of which only contribute to deepen our despair and brokenness and ultimately fail to save us.

But here’s the good news: God has spoken into our brokenness — and — He has provided exactly what we need. He sent Jesus—His chosen Servant—to bring justice, healing, and hope.

Today, as we look at this first Servant Song — we’re going to see this clearly — But — before we dive in — we need to take a step back and understand where we are in the story. Yes — it’s true that Isaiah 42 is one of the most hope-filled passages in the Bible, but it’s also set against a backdrop of deep despair. So, let me paint the picture for you.

Isaiah was written during a time of turmoil and heartbreak for God’s people. For generations — Israel had turned its back on God, chasing after idols, breaking His covenant, and living for themselves instead of for Him. — Sound familiar? —Well, after countless warnings from God through the prophets, Israel faced the consequences of their rebellion. First came the Assyrian invasion, and eventually, exile in Babylon. They lost their land, they lost their temple, and they even lost their sense of identity as God’s chosen people.

Can you imagine what that must have felt like!?! The world they knew had fallen apart — and —now they were surrounded by the weight of their failure, the brokenness of the world, and the darkness of their circumstances. And if we’re honest, we can relate to that, can’t we? Maybe you too have had moments when it feels like life is falling apart. Maybe the weight of your failures, the brokenness in your relationships, or the chaos in the world has left you feeling like you don’t know who you are or what’s next.

And — that’s exactly where Israel was. But — it was into that kind of darkness that God spoke a message of comfort and hope. He reminds them, ‘I haven’t forgotten you. I’m still in control. And I’m going to send someone who will bring you back to Me.’ But here’s the thing—this message of hope wasn’t just a message for Israel. It was a message for the whole world. You see — God’s plan wasn’t just to fix Israel’s brokenness—it was to fix the brokenness of the nations, the brokenness of creation itself.

And how was God going to do that? Well — not how we would expect — you see— God’s plan to fix creation was not through a mighty warrior or a loud politician, but through a Suffering Servant.

Now — it’s crucial that we understand why this concept of a Servant is so significant. You see — Israel was supposed to be God’s servant. They were chosen to reflect His light, His justice, and His glory to the world. But instead of shining light, they stumbled in the darkness. Instead of pursuing justice, they contributed to the injustice. Just like us, they couldn’t fix what was broken because they were part of the brokenness. So — God sends someone new. Someone who will do what Israel —could not do. Someone who will be the perfect Servant: faithful, gentle, and persistent. Someone who will bring justice to the oppressed, light to the nations, and healing to the brokenhearted.

Now — this leads us back to our text and to the first key description of The Servant.

1. The Servant’s Identity

Before telling us what His Servant is like or what His Servant will do — He tells us who is Servant is…. and the first thing God says is….look at verse1

Isaiah 42:1 (CSB)

1 “This is my servant…

This Servant belongs to the Lord — and — we know that this prophecy is pointing specifically to Jesus Christ — and we know this because—in Matthew 12:18–21, the gospel writer quotes Isaiah 42 word for word — picture the scene — the Pharisees were plotting to destroy Jesus. They were watching His every move, waiting for an opportunity to bring Him down. So, what does Jesus do? Well — He leaves the area — but even as He withdraws — He doesn’t push people away. Instead, crowds of sick and hurting people follow Him—and Jesus, full of compassion, heals them.

But then, something interesting happens. After healing people, Jesus gives them a strict warning: ‘Don’t tell anyone who I am.’ Now, why would He say that? Why would He keep His identity a secret? Well — Jesus didn’t want people to misunderstand who He was or why He had come. You see, Jesus wasn’t just a miracle-worker. His ultimate purpose wasn’t to draw crowds or wow people with displays of power. He wasn’t looking to become some kind of political figure who would lead a revolution and overthrow Roman rule. That wasn’t His mission. NO! Jesus came to be the humble Servant of the Lord, the one sent by God to save sinners and restore a broken world. His mission wasn’t about political liberation; it was about spiritual redemption. And in His humility and faithfulness, Jesus perfectly fulfilled the role of God’s chosen Servant.

Look back at verse 1 — Isaiah continues …

Isaiah 42:1 (CSB)

1 “This is my servant; I strengthen him,

this is my chosen one; I delight in him.

I have put my Spirit on him;

he will bring justice to the nations.

First — notice how God both strengthens and delights in His Servant. And these two realities speak to the fact that this Servant isn’t just anyone — rather — This Servant is uniquely empowered by the Holy Spirit and deeply loved by the Father. And this truth should bring to mind Jesus’ baptism. Do you remember this scene? In Matthew 3 we read about how when John the Baptist brought Jesus up out of the water — God the Holy Spirit descended upon Jesus like a dove and God the Father declared from heaven…

Matthew 3:17 (CSB)

17 …“This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well-pleased.”

And what’s so amazing is that — even though Jesus is the second person of the Trinity — He became flesh and blood. And — In His incarnate state —Jesus was fully God and fully man at the same time. And as a man — Jesus lived in complete dependence on His Father and the power of the Spirit. In fact — everything He did flowed from His perfect relationship with the Father and His reliance on the Spirit.

Now — after God reveals to us His Servant’s identity — He shares with us a picture of His character — and He does so by telling us what His Servant will not be like —

2. The Servant’s Character

Isaiah 42:2 (CSB)

2 He will not cry out or shout

or make his voice heard in the streets.

Jesus’ ministry stood in stark contrast to every ruler who ever came before Him or after Him. Think about how earthly rulers act — they assert their dominance with loud commands, displays of power, and the pomp and glamour of their authority. They shout orders. They intimidate. They demand attention.

But Jesus? He came quietly, modestly, and patiently. He didn’t assume the role of a drill sergeant barking orders, or a military commander forcing submission. There were no trumpets or grand parades to announce His coming. Instead, He was born humbly in a manger, and rode unassumingly into Jerusalem on a donkey —

Why? Well — Jesus came not to be served but to serve — and — He came speaking words of peace and truth—offering rest to the weary, hope to the oppressed, and healing to the brokenhearted.

And this is exactly what we see in verse 3. Isaiah tells us that Jesus —

3 He will not break a bruised reed,

and he will not put out a smoldering wick;

he will faithfully bring justice.

Friends — Jesus is gentle. You see — I don’t know what can be more tender, fragile, or vulnerable than a bruised reed or a smoldering wick. Think about a bruised reed—growing by the edge of a river—thin, fragile, and easily damaged. Now — a reed is not a strong or sturdy thing to begin with — and when it’s bruised, bent, or cracked, it’s even weaker, almost useless. It’s the kind of thing most people would throw away without a second thought. Tell me — what good is a bruised reed?

But here’s the beauty of this image — while the world naturally sees the bruised reed as useless or something to be discarded — Jesus does not — He doesn’t break it. He doesn’t snap it in two and throw it away. Instead, He handles it with care. He binds it up. He nurtures it. He restores it. In other words — Jesus doesn’t crush the weak — He strengthens them. He doesn’t discard the broken—He heals them. He binds up its wounds, lifts it up, and makes it whole again. What others might see as useless or beyond repair, Jesus sees as valuable and worth saving.

Which reminds me of Psalm 34:18.

Psalm 34:18 (CSB)

18 The Lord is near the brokenhearted; he saves those crushed in spirit.

Dearly beloved — this is the heart of our Savior. He doesn’t leave us in our brokenness — rather — He lovingly restores us and renews us. He is an amazing savior who — even in our weakness and in our vulnerabilities — we can trust Him.

Now — think about a smoldering wick — it’s fragile, delicate, and on the verge of going out. If you have ever tried to relight a wick that’s barely flickering then you know how careful you have to be. One wrong move, one strong breath, and it’s extinguished.

And I don’t know about you — but there are more days than not that I feel like a smoldering wick — bruised, burned out, and barely holding on. Perhaps you too have felt like this? Perhaps you have also had moments when you’ve had no strength, no hope, and maybe no real faith at all. Maybe you’re here this morning and you’re feeling discouraged, overwhelmed, or like you’re barely holding on. Perhaps you feel like you have just enough faith to keep going, but not enough to make a real impact. You doubt more than you believe. You struggle to pray, and when you do pray, it feels weak. Maybe you’ve even thought to yourself, ‘I’m too broken for God to want me let alone use me.’

But the beauty and the comfort of this verse is that it speaks to the truth that we have a savior who doesn’t see the smoldering wick and snuff us out. No, He gently protects us and nurtures it and fans us into flame. . Friend — Jesus sees the potential in even the smallest spark of faith. Where the world might dismiss you, Jesus values you. Where others might get frustrated with your weakness, Jesus draws near to you. He doesn’t crush the weak—He restores us. He doesn’t extinguish the faint—He fans us into a flame.

Brothers and sisters—this is your Savior. He is gentle. He is patient, and He is compassionate. He doesn’t crush the bruised reed or blow out the smoldering wick. He handles our weakness with care — and that good work He started in you He will see to it that it’s completed — which means — friend — you can live with confidence that You will stand before the Lord one day completely whole — and not as a result of your hard work — but as a result of a servant savior who is building his kingdom out broken reeds and smoldering wicks.

Now — here’s what’s even more incredible—while Jesus deals tenderly with the weak, He never grows weak Himself. Even though His mission of justice is unimaginably difficult, He never gets discouraged. He never gives up.

Look at verse 4

Isaiah 42:4 (CSB)

4 He will not grow weak or be discouraged …

Think about that for a moment. Jesus will never break apart like a bruised reed or die out like a smoldering wick — we can trust Him — You see — while you and I might stumble and fall — while we grow weary or frustrated — Jesus remains faithful. He will never grow weary of loving us — When our strength fails, His never does.

And let’s be honest—we are often unfaithful, aren’t we? We fail. We stumble. We grow weary of following Him. Maybe you’ve had moments when you feel like giving up, like your faith isn’t strong enough to keep going. But here’s the good news: Jesus doesn’t base His faithfulness on ours. He doesn’t give up on us when we fall short. His faithfulness is constant, unchanging, and unstoppable.

Paul reminds us of this in 2 Timothy 2:13.

2 Timothy 2:13 (CSB)

13 if we are faithless, he remains faithful, for he cannot deny himself.

What a Savior! Even when we fail Him, He never fails us. Even when we grow discouraged, He keeps on going — fulfilling His mission to bring justice and redemption to the world. And that means that no matter where you are today—whether you’re weary, discouraged, or feeling like you’ve failed one too many times—Jesus remains faithful to you. He will not falter. He will not be discouraged. He’s will give up on you.

And what’s so extraordinary about Jesus is that His faithfulness is not just for our sake—His perseverance is part of a greater mission…and He will not stop until His mission is complete.

3. The Servant’s Mission

Brothers and Sisters — Jesus is building His Kingdom with broken reeds and smoldering wicks. Think about that—Jesus is building His Kingdom not with the strong, the powerful, or the polished, but with the weak, the bruised, and the barely hanging on. And this truth tells us so much about who Jesus is — that He is gentle, He is patient, and compassionate — But friends — we must not mistake His gentleness for weakness. His tenderness doesn’t mean that He’s passive. No—this same gentle Servant is on a mission — a mission to bring forth and establish justice for God.

Now, let me ask you—what comes to mind when you hear the word “justice”? Maybe you think of courts and judges, punishment for wrongdoing, or defending the rights of the innocent. And yes, that’s part of it — But the kind of justice Isaiah speaks of here is so much more than that. It’s not just about retribution or fairness—it’s about restoration. This justice is about restoring God’s perfect order—what the Bible calls shalom. It’s a wholeness where relationships with God, one another, and creation are healed and flourishing — just as God originally intended.

From the very beginning — God created the world with a perfect design. Everything was right. Humanity lived in harmony with God, with one another, and with creation. But sin — well — sin shattered God’s perfect design. It brought rebellion against God, brokenness into the world, and idolatry into our hearts. And the result? Injustice, pain, and division.

And let’s be honest—things aren’t any better today — the truth is — God’s glory continues to be profaned by idolatry as humanity worships created things instead of the Creator. We see this clearly in the way that people chase after power, wealth, status, and self-made solutions to fix the brokenness in their lives. But it doesn’t work. The brokenness just grows deeper.

But here’s the good news — God didn’t leave us in this brokenness. He sent His Servant to restore what sin has destroyed.And the Servant’s mission is to set things right —and — not according to human judgment, but according to God’s perfect judgment. The Servant’s mission is to establish God’s Kingdom on earth so that God’s will is done here, just as it is in heaven.

And God’s justice isn’t just about restoring individuals — it’s about restoring everything that’s broken. Spiritually, morally, socially—God’s justice brings hope to the oppressed, light to those sitting in darkness, and healing to the brokenhearted. It’s the kind of justice we long for when we see the brokenness of our world—the violence, the injustice, the corruption, the suffering—and we cry out, ‘How long, O Lord? When will You make things right?’

But here’s the question — how can the Servant bring about this kind of justice? How can someone so quiet, so gentle, accomplish something so massive? How does He restore what sin has broken and establish God’s Kingdom on earth without shouting, without forcing His way, and without wielding the kind of power the world expects? And — The answer to this question lies in two things we’ve already seen. First, back in verse 1, God tells us that He has put His Spirit on Him. In other words — Jesus didn’t act in His own strength; He is empowered by the very Spirit of God—the Spirit who hovered over the waters at creation, the Spirit who brings life, renewal, and restoration. It is by the Spirit that Jesus was conceived, anointed, and sustained in His mission from the manger to the cross.

But second, the Servant’s power is not just about the Spirit working in Him—it’s also about the authority of the One who sends Him. And that’s what we see in verse 5.

Isaiah 42:5 (CSB)

5 This is what God, the Lord, says—

who created the heavens and stretched them out,

who spread out the earth and what comes from it,

who gives breath to the people on it

and spirit to those who walk on it—

The same God who stretched out the heavens, who spoke the galaxies into existence, and who fills the earth with His sustaining power is the very One who sends the Servant on His mission. Think about that for a moment—the Creator of all life — the One who gives breath to every person — is the One who guarantees this mission of justice, restoration, and redemption. In other words — this is not some fragile hope, some vague possibility. It’s backed by the power and authority of the One who holds the entire universe in His hands.

And God doesn’t just send His Servant out without guidance or support — No — He walks with Him every step of the way. look at verse 6

Isaiah 42:6 (CSB)

6 “I am the Lord. I have called you

for a righteous purpose,

and I will hold you by your hand.

I will watch over you…

Underline or take note of these two phrases: “I will hold You by Your hand,” and “I will watch over You.” What an incredible picture these phrases give us — pictures of both intimacy and empowerment! Here, God the Father speaks directly to His Servant, Jesus, commissioning Him to accomplish His perfect will on earth as it is in heaven. But notice this—Jesus wasn’t left to struggle or labor alone. The Father promised to hold His hand and watch over Him every step of the way.

We see this truth so beautifully displayed at Jesus’ baptism, don’t we? The heavens opened, the Spirit descended like a dove, and the Father declared, “This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased” (Matthew 3:17). That same empowering, sustaining love from the Father carried Jesus through His ministry—through every act of healing, every moment of teaching, and even as He bore the weight of the cross to establish God’s Kingdom on earth.

And here’s the amazing part!! For those of us who are in Christ, hidden in Him by faith — God also holds us and watches over us as we join Him in His work. As we are commissioned by Christ to continue His mission—partnering with Him to see His Kingdom come here in Northwest Las Vegas as it is in heaven—God promises His presence and His care. Just as God held and watched over His Son, He holds and watches over us, equipping us to reflect Christ’s light and justice in the world.

So be encouraged! The work of the Kingdom isn’t something we do alone. God is with us. He is empowering us, guiding us, and sustaining us every step of the way. And because this is His mission and not ours — we can trust that He will see it through to completion. His will — will — be done on earth as it is in heaven—through His Servant, through His Church, and through you.

So let me ask you — Where in your life is God calling you to reflect His light? Who in your community is still sitting in darkness, longing for hope? What brokenness around you needs the justice and restoration of Christ? Friends, as the church, we are the hands and feet of Jesus. Let us go confidently, knowing that the same God who sent His Servant goes with us, holding us, watching over us, and working through us.

Now — Look back at verse 6 — Isaiah gives us another amazing truth

Isaiah 42:6 (CSB)

6 “I am the Lord. I have called you

for a righteous purpose,

and I will hold you by your hand.

I will watch over you, and I will appoint you

to be a covenant for the people

and a light to the nations,

Here — Isaiah makes it clear — Jesus is not just a messenger bringing a covenant to the people—He is the covenant. In His life, death, and resurrection, Jesus Himself becomes the bridge between God and man. He fulfilled God’s promises to restore His people by becoming the very means through which salvation is accomplished.

This is what makes the gospel so breathtaking — Jesus doesn’t just bring us closer to God—He is the way to God. He is the mediator of a new covenant, established in His blood.

Hebrews 9:15 (CSB)

15 Therefore, he is the mediator of a new covenant, so that those who are called might receive the promise of the eternal inheritance, because a death has taken place for redemption from the transgressions committed under the first covenant.

You see — as the new covenant — Jesus reconciles us to the Father — breaking down the wall of sin that separated us. But that’s not all. Jesus isn’t just the covenant — He is also the “light to the nations.” This means that the salvation Jesus brings is not limited to Israel—it’s for the whole world. The mission of the Servant has global implications. Jesus is the true light!

But — what does this light accomplish? Look at verse 7

Isaiah 42:7 (CSB)

7 in order to open blind eyes,

to bring out prisoners from the dungeon,

and those sitting in darkness from the prison house.

Yes, Jesus opened physical eyes during His ministry, but this goes deeper. You see — Jesus opens spiritual eyes—eyes that have been blinded by sin — unable to see the glory of God. By His light, Jesus enables us to see the beauty of salvation, the majesty of God’s holiness, and the hope of eternal life.

And what about the prisoners? Those bound in chains of sin, locked in the dungeon of despair, unable to escape the grip of darkness? Isaiah says the Servant will release them. Understand — every human being apart from Christ is held captive in the dungeon of sin. Satan binds us with chains we cannot break, locking us into rebellion, despair, and death. But Isaiah shows us that the Servant came to break those chains and lead prisoners to freedom. Friends — through Jesus, the powers of sin and death are shattered. The Apostle Paul said it like this in Colossians 1:13

Colossians 1:13 (CSB)

13 He has rescued us from the domain of darkness and transferred us into the kingdom of the Son he loves.

And understand that this is no small deliverance—this is a total rescue mission. Jesus doesn’t just improve our situation — No! He transfers us from one realm to another, from darkness to light, from bondage to freedom, from death to life. Can you see the beauty of this? The same hands that created the universe now reach into the deepest, darkest prisons to pull us out. The same voice that called stars into being now speaks to our hearts, calling us by name into His marvelous light. This is the gospel: that Christ Jesus, the Servant of the Lord, came to accomplish what no one else could do. By His life, death, and resurrection, He breaks every chain and brings us into the eternal kingdom of God.

So — where does all of this leave us? What do we do with the hope and promises of Isaiah 42? What do we do as a people still waiting—waiting for Christ to return, waiting for brokenness to be healed, waiting for the world to be made new?

First, let’s remember that waiting doesn’t mean that God is absent. Waiting doesn’t mean that God is not working. In fact, it’s often in the waiting that God does His deepest work in us. And just as God spoke into the darkness of Israel’s exile with words of comfort and hope, He speaks into our waiting today — and He is reminding us that HE is still in control — and — that He has already sent His Servant to accomplish His mission. Jesus, the perfect Servant, has come to bring light into the darkness, justice to the oppressed, and freedom to the captives. And because of Him — our waiting is not in vain.

But here’s the thing— we have to understand that our waiting is not passive. Just as Israel’s waiting was filled with longing and anticipation — our waiting is filled with purpose. We don’t wait as those without hope. We wait as those who know the promise has already begun to be fulfilled. Jesus, the Light of the World, has already come. And because of Him, the darkness is passing away.

And yet — we also know the work isn’t finished. Advent reminds us that we live in this tension between the “already” and the “not yet.” Jesus has come — but He is coming again. He has brought justice, but one day He will establish it fully. He has brought freedom, but one day every chain will be broken. He has brought light, but one day darkness will be no more.

So, what do we do while we wait? As we prepare for Christ’s second advent, we take up the mission of the Servant. As His church, we reflect His light in a dark world. We proclaim His justice to those who are oppressed. We bring His hope to the brokenhearted. We partner with Him to see His Kingdom come here, just as it is in heaven. And we do it all knowing that the same God who called and empowered His Servant is the same God who calls and empowers us.

So — this Advent — as you feel the weight of waiting — remember that you don’t wait alone. The God who stretched out the heavens, who spoke the galaxies into existence, and who fills the earth with His sustaining power is the same God who is with you now. And because of Jesus, the waiting will not last forever. One day, the Servant will return, and the promise will be fulfilled completely. The light will shine forever, the prisoners will be set free, and the brokenness of the world will be healed. And in that day, we won’t be waiting anymore. We’ll be worshiping the One who made all things new.

Let’s pray
