Sermon Notes:
For someone who needs hope:
Trust God
V. 9– trust God because he is bringing about the promise of the son and salvation
V. 10-12 – in trusting God there is never mention that the promise will come immediately or on our time
Chinese bamboo tree begins as a nut that is plan\ted and must be watered and fertilized every day for five years before it finally breaks through the ground. In the fifth year the tree breaks through and grows to nearly 90 ft tall in 6 weeks but the tree must take 5 years to develop its root system so that it doesn’t topple over.
It was 500 years between the time of Zechariah’s prophecy until Jesus came.
If you are bitter because you are waiting, turn that bitterness into betterness.
