God’s hope transforms the seemingly impossible into reality. Isaiah describes the shoot as having the power to transform the ordinary into the extraordinary, the lion and the lamb, together in peace. The shoot, from the stump of David, grows new, green, and fresh, and brings life, justice and peace to a hurting world.
That’s cool to contrast those 2 Scripture passages. Having taught the Is. in Sun. sch. and at FCA, there’s still even more to get from it–this contrast with the Matt. passage. I didn’t use the Matt. in my teachings. God is so all-inclusive.
