The Weary World Rejoices

Adam Ritchard | Isaiah 8:22-9:7; Genesis 5:3-29; 2 Corinthians 5:17; Judges 6-7; Matthew 2:1-2; 11:28-30 — The weariness of our world is not simply the product of seasonal tiredness or a frenetic modern lifestyle. Every human heart is weary from the weight and depravity of our sin. But as Christ came to earth, so came the ‘thrill of hope’; the confident assurance that Jesus came as the present and eternal solution to our greatest need. In response to Christ, ‘the weary world rejoices’ - may we too respond with hope and rejoicing as we receive the life that Jesus came to bring.
