1. At the time Isaiah was written, the Israelites were experiencing a time of great despair. Yet, the Prophet Isaiah gives the Israelites hope by them that a promised redeemer is coming. As those who now live "between two Advents" how do we live patiently waiting for Christ's second coming? What things make you impatient?
2. Isaiah 11:1-11 tells God's people of a coming "destination" that will be purged of all fear, danger, and evil. A place where believers from all nations will be gathered together. What things in your own life cause you to long for this promised “destination”?
3. How does Jesus’ birth act as a “signal” for God's people (v. 10)?
4. How are we to live in light of the promises that we see in this passage? How do these promises change your thoughts and affections?
5. We know that Christ not only came to reconcile us to God, but also to restore all things. How do we display this restoration in our vocations and daily lives? How do our actions model God’s reconciliation to the world?
