Introduction
As a child, I had a disease around Christmas time.
It was called Christmas Eve Insomnia.
Between eating four pounds of candy that I ate at the Christmas Eve party and the expectancy of opening all of the presents already and yet to be under the tree, I would NOT be able to go to sleep.
As a child, I used to get SO excited about Christmas presents that I literally could not sleep.
I could go to bed, but I would wake up VERY early in the morning and jump in my parents beds.
My parents had to figure out something because I was wearing them out.
I was allowed to open ONE present under the Christmas tree on Christmas Eve.
I would carefully select the present, and after I opened it, some of the pressure was relieved.
I was able to go to sleep.
It became a family tradition.
In the same way, the Israelites had the prophets of the Old Testament.
While life was difficult, they often brought messages of hope and grace.
Explanation
Isaiah 7:14-15 “Therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign.
Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel.
He shall eat curds and honey when he knows how to refuse the evil and choose the good.”
God is giving a sign of his generosity.
He is allowing the Israelites to unwrap a little bit of the package.
Isaiah 9:6 “For to us a child is born, to us a son is given; and the government shall be upon his shoulder, and his name shall be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.”
Wonderful Counselor // One who teaches in all perfection.
What He teaches is good.
Mighty God // He is all powerful and all knowing.
Everlasting Father // We relate to God as a heavenly Father.
Prince of Peace // Jesus would bring true and lasting peace.
Just as they were comforted with that they had, Jesus comforts us with His coming again.
