“For a child will be born to us, a son will be given to us; and the government will rest on His shoulders; and His name will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Eternal Father, Prince of Peace.” Isaiah 9:6
Many are familiar with this Verse. We see it on Cards or hear it on the radio during Christmas. But consider the context in which it comes to us; Doom and Gloom! Judgement is coming! That is the Bad News! But Today’s Verse is a Message of Hope, Expectation, and Celebration! The Son of David, promised long ago, was coming. And of course, we know that this was Jesus. This is why it’s called “The Gospel”; it’s Good News!
But was this true of Him 2,000 years ago? Not entirely. That is one reason why the Jews didn’t recognize Him. But it IS TRUE of Him now; He Rules and Reigns in Heaven! And soon, He will come to Rule and Reign on Earth.
