In Pastor's sermon, he draws a parallel between moments of despair in history and the biblical account of Israel, highlighting their feelings of hopelessness as they awaited a promised king amidst adversity. Isaiah prophesies about a new leader emerging from the stump of Jesse, symbolizing hope and restoration through the Messiah, Jesus Christ, who embodies perfect judgment and righteousness. Pastor emphasizes that while believers have already been redeemed through Christ, they live in the tension of "already and not yet," waiting for the ultimate fulfillment of God's promise and the restoration of creation. He urges the congregation to respond with worship and hope, actively living out their faith as they await Jesus' return, who will bring complete justice and renewal to the world.
