Where does the longing come from that nothing in this world can satisfy, not even the most carefully prepared holidays? This sermon leads to Isaiah 60, where light comes to a city sunk in darkness, light nobody earned and nobody paid for. Along the way it tells of a New York gang leader whom someone dared to tell that God had a different plan for him. Listen and see why it is only in God’s presence that we are truly at home.
