Today is Friday, December 21st, 2012; Karen's Korner #2470

As we head toward Christmas Day:
 

Isaiah 9:6 & 7 

 

“For unto us a Child is born; unto us a Son is given;

and the government shall be upon his shoulder.

These will be his royal titles: 

“Wonderful”,

“Counselor”,

"The Mighty God”,

“The Everlasting Father”,

“The Prince of Peace”.

His ever-expanding, peaceful government will never end.

He will rule with perfect fairness and justice from the throne of his father David.

He will bring true justice and peace to all nations of the world.

This is going to happen because the Lord of heaven’s armies has dedicated himself to do it!"

 

 

Commentary
 
"In a time of great darkness,
"God promised to send a Light who would shine on everyone living in the shadow of death.
He is both “Mighty God” (all powerful) and “Counselor” (all loving).
This message of hope was fulfilled in the birth of Christ and the establishment of his eternal kingdom.
He came to deliver all people from their slavery to sin."
