For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. – Isaiah 9:6
I remember one Christmas someone I know got a present that was lost in shipping. It took several weeks after Christmas for the present to arrive at his house. However, that person expected the present to come and kept waiting day after day hopefully. And so each day, they went out to the mail box, checking to see if the package had arrived.
Finally one day, weeks after it was expected the present came. And what a great day it was. The present could be played with and enjoyed.
That’s a lot like today’s Bible verse. Jesus is coming again. One day, we will get to see Him in His second coming. And what a great day that will be. It will be better than any Christmas present or any party we could ever imagine. On that day we will see Jesus, the wonderful, counselor, mighty God, everlasting father, and prince of peace. So hold on to hope that one day, you too will get to see Jesus face to face.
The message of Christmas is that God himself came to earth to help and love us, and that He will come again soon.
We appreciate all our readers. We will be taking the rest of the week off to spend with our family. We hope that you have a wonderful Christmas full of all the joy that Jesus brings!
