God's Compassion: Comfort for the Weeping

In this Advent message from Isaiah 40, Pastor Bryan walks us through a simple statement given to ancient Judah: “Comfort, comfort my people.” In these four words we learn of the matchless love of God, which comes to us in our pain and overcomes every mess we’ve made. Like Judah, we may be so beaten up and miserable that we are heaving and sobbing, gasping for air. In the midst of this distress, God draws us near, puts his hand on our back, and says, “I’m here. Breathe, breathe, breathe.”
