Isaiah 11:1-10: Today’s reading brings us to the tension between God's promises and the struggles of human reality. The prophecy in Isaiah 11:1–10, spanning a thousand years, uses the image of a shoot emerging from a stump to show that God's new future breaks out of our failures, not our successes. This means that "today" is a space of God's grace where we experience Jesus Christ, the future Messiah. as a present power that heals our brokenness. The Spirit empowers us to live out God's future promise right now, turning hope from wishful thinking into power that we can overcome our own issues.
