The Perfect Confessor

Advent gives us some very cool insights into the child who is coming. But the readings (especially the prophecies) also tell us who the man is to be. When we read about the king-to-come in Isaiah 11, we can recognize the wise and gentle servant who we know Jesus to be, and that should give us the hope and courage this Advent to 1) get to confession and 2) lay it all out there in order to change.
