Isaiah 11:1-10

It’s a bit of cliche, but world peace wouldn’t be a bad Christmas gift would it? And if not world peace, what about strong, courageous leadership? Leadership that isn’t self-seeking or self-serving and that releases us to build a better future. Fear and hope are very, very different. Leadership that plays to our fears limits us and cripples our response to need. Leadership, like that which Jesus offers, that points to hope invites us to participate in a greater future. Our hope in Jesus requires us to make a decision to act for hope rather than fear.
