We live in a world that is broken. Hope for the future is found in God himself. In the book of Isaiah there are promises of someone who would come to set things right. God has kept his promise about a king who would come and rule in such a way that no king before had ever done … justice to the poor, righteousness and delight in serving the Lord.

Through this king, loving God translates into loving others. The leader that God has promised would rule in such a way as to bring peace to the world. Who is this person? The Lord Jesus Christ is the one who gives the ‘living water’ which truly satisfies our deepest need and transforms our lives.

Justice and mercy, peace and righteousness will fill the earth. Through His death on the cross and resurrection Jesus brings us out of slavery to sin and into the freedom of serving God. In him our sins are forgiven and we have a new hope and a new future. In him we have a reason to sing.
