Victory over the darkness in our lives doesn’t come through self-help or by force. It comes through a relationship with Jesus, the One who came into the world as a baby to overcome the darkness.
Text: Isaiah 9:1-7
1) Waiting isn’t something that we’re used to in our culture, but Advent is a season of intentional waiting - waiting for the coming of Christ. What are some ways that you can slow down this Advent season as you wait for Christ?
2) Isaiah prophesied that victory over despair, darkness, and oppression would come through a baby, who would also be God. If you were Israel, how would you have responded to this promise, that a baby would be your saviour? Why do you think God sent Jesus to be a lowly baby instead of a “warrior-king”?
3) Just as he will end all darkness and oppression and conflict one day, God promises to come into our own darkness and shine his light through a relationship with Jesus. How has Jesus brought light into your life? Where do you need his light to shine currently?
4) Jesus has come to seek and to save the lost. What are some ways that we can reach out to people who don’t know Jesus this Christmas season?
