A Word from the Well - 12/20/08
Isaiah 9:6 “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, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.”
To us a child is born - to us a Son is given. God gave us His very best. “He who did not spare His own Son, but gave Him up for us all-how will He not also, along with Him, graciously give us all things?”(Rom.8:32). God graciously gives us all good things. Every good and perfect gift is from above.
God sent His Son into a dark and hopeless world. And because He did - we never have to live without hope. He kept His promises then, and He is still keeping His promises today.
Jesus is the Light of the world. He is the Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, and the Prince of Peace. If God didn’t withhold His very best then - we can rest secure in His ongoing goodness and grace throughout our lives and into eternity. He is the same yesterday, today and forever.
“We have this hope as an anchor for the soul, firm and secure” (Heb.6:19). If that’s not worth celebrating, I don’t know what is!
Thanks be to God for His indescribable gift! Amen!!
