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
It is always a miracle when a child is born. There is great celebration around the birth of a baby. And that celebration continues throughout the life of the child with the celebration of birthdays. I mention this, because today is my birthday. I am looking forward to celebrating with my family that day soooooo many years ago when I was born.
There is also another birthday that we will be celebrating in a few days. It is a birth that was a greater miracle and much more important than mine. It is the birthday of the child that is spoken of in Isaiah. It is the birthday of our King! As Christians we will celebrate that day when we were given God’s Son as our Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father and Prince of Peace. I am looking forward to that celebration too!!!
Prayer: Thank you God for sending us your Son to be our King. Thank you for Christmas to help us remember and celebrate that wonderful gift! Amen.
Faith Tip: We invite you to celebrate the birth of Jesus at Grace on Christmas Eve at 6:00PM and/or Christmas morning at 10:00AM.
