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, [b] Mighty God,
Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.
Of the increase of his government and peace
there will be no end.
He will reign on David's throne
and over his kingdom,
establishing and upholding it
with justice and righteousness
from that time on and forever.
The zeal of the LORD Almighty
will accomplish this.
Isaiah 9:6-7
This promise made a long time ago came to fruition- and hence Christmas. What a radical time, that this time would mean peace, hope, justice, righteousness. And that Jesus would be called Immanuel - God with Us. God is with us this Christmas, with that same brimming hope that Isaiah had when he spoke those words- infact the brimming hope is now also brimming joy, because it is no longer just a prophecy but real.
Have a great christmas and new year- God is with us.
