"But there will be no gloom for her who was in anguish..." This is how our passage for today begins. Isaiah ministered during a dark time in the nation of Judah. Yet into the midst of that darkness comes light. It's kind of God's thing to bring us from darkness into light, from sorrow into joy, and from bondage into freedom. He does this through the coming of the child King who will reign with justice and righteousness forevermore. Once again Isaiah helps us understand the advent of our Lord.
