Our text for 2021

He grew up before him like a tender shoot, 
and like a root out of dry ground.
He had no beauty or majesty to attract us to him,
nothing in his appearance that we should desire him.

Isaiah 53 v2

See, I am doing a new thing!
Now it springs up;
do you not perceive it?
I am making a way in the wilderness 
and streams in the wasteland.

Isaiah 43 v19
