The Shoot and the Axe

from Arlington Church of Christ, Arlington VA · host Chess Cavitt

Isaiah promises a Spirit-anointed ruler from Jesses stump, a world remade in justice and peace; the Gospel confronts us with Johns axe laid to the roots and his call to repentance. The tender shoot and the sharp axe belong to the same hope: Gods new growth requires a cutting away. Our expectation is activerepentant hearts that make space for the King whose breath brings true life. Isaiah 11:110; Psalm 72:17, 1819; Romans 15:413; Matthew 3:112
