    When people came looking for the Messiah they expected to see “a reed shaken in the wind,” or a wealthy and mighty king. Instead of finding a wealthy king, they found the Christ who was meek and humble; born in a place of low esteem.

What I am about to read are the words of the prophet Isaiah concerning the entrance of our Savior ...read more
