Isaiah 11:1-10 - Sunday Scripture Reflection

As we gather on the Second Sunday of Advent, we hear once again from the prophet Isaiah. The prophet is speaking of the time of God's glorious redemption and restoration of all creation, and the peace and unity that will be present everywhere. In our daily lives, we can struggle to imagine, or even hope for, such a peace-filled life, but the prophet points toward the future that God intends for us. We will discuss the elements of the prophet's vision of a return the to "goodness of Eden" before the fall, and how we might be attentive to signs of this promised life in our midst today.
