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 Counsellor, Mighty God, Everlasting father, Prince of Peace. Of the increase of his government and peace there will be no end. (Isaiah 9:6 – 7)
Those words, written hundreds of years before Christ was born, are proclaimed every Christmas time when the birth of Jesus Christ is celebrated. Many, who do not attend church services regularly, or read the Bible for themselves, presume the words are associated with the Gospel stories. They are prophetic words that point to the authenticity of the Bible and show the guidance in the hearts and minds of those Old Testament writers.
The Old Testament says God is Love. Jesus Christ came into the world as Love personified. We need to know more of Him in order to understand the concepts of Love in our own lives. If you have not been born again into a love relationship with Him, make it your goal in the coming year to learn to know Him.
Walk with me and let us exalt His Name together.
