📖 Verse of the Day

“For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.”

Isaiah 9:6

Reflection:

Centuries before Jesus’ birth, Isaiah prophesied these very names that we now use to worship Him. As Isaiah looked forward to the coming Messiah, God revealed to him the nature of this promised Savior - Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. More than just a man, Jesus was destined to be the incarnation of God Himself, sent as a vulnerable baby to identify with mankind.

On that silent night when quaking shepherds and rejoicing angels gathered around the infant Jesus, they were in the presence of the eternal Word who was with God from the beginning. The Everlasting Father was born as a helpless babe! The Prince of Peace arrived not to command armies, but to exemplify love and sacrifice. Christmas marks Immanuel - “God with us” - coming humbly out of indescribable love.

As we unwrap gifts and enjoy our holiday celebrations, may this awesome truth cause us to pause in wonder once more. Our Jesus, born so long ago yet existing forever, deserves renewed reverence and joyful praise!

Ask Yourself:

This Christmas, how can I renew my awe and worship of Jesus - the eternal Word made flesh who is Mighty God, Everlasting Father, and Prince of Peace?
