Good morning beloved, happy Saturday, Merry Christmas,
This is a beautiful verse from every angle. Jesus is the topic from first to last. He was born to be the King and Savior of the world. It’s all about Him. As I like to say, “Jesus is the reason for the season!”
“For unto us a Child is born, unto us a Son is given; and the government shall be upon His shoulder.”
(Isaiah 9:6).
• A Child Is Born – This Child was no ordinary Child. He was God who had come in the flesh. His mission was to proclaim the gospel, perform miracles, disciple men and women, and most of all to die for us on the cross.
The Christmas hymn says it so well, “What Child is this that laid to rest on Mary’s lap is sleeping? The angels greet with anthems sweet, while shepherd’s watch are keeping. This, this is Christ the King, whom shepherds guard and angels sing. Haste, haste to bring Him laud, the Babe the Son of Mary.”
• A Son Is Given – There was no greater gift than God’s only Begotten Son. He sent Him to offer Himself on the cross and save us from our sins. What a gift given that we might be forgiven! 2 Corinthians 9:15 says, “But thanks be to God for He is indescribable gift!”
Let us rejoice that for us a Child was born, for us a Son was given. Have a blessed day and Christmas season. Stay safe and healthy.
So many want to think of Jesus as a just a baby, or just a man, but to be our Savior was always God’s plan.
