Moving outwards

Isaiah 9.1-4

Isaiah proclaims light and freedom for those in the region of Israel – the Galilee of the nations. We hear again the well-known words, often heard at Christmas, about light dawning on those who have been walking in darkness. The coming of the servant means that their oppression is over and joy abounds.

This week, we will move outwards beyond the Christmas associations of the Isaiah passage and see our calling mirrored in that of the first disciples.
