Isaiah 9:6-7
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.
Of the increase of his government
and of peace there will be no end,
on the throne of David and over his kingdom,
to establish it and to uphold it
with justice and with righteousness
from this time forth and forevermore.
This is no ordinary child.
He is a Child
He is us.
He became a child, a human, a boy.
We have seen how Hebrews make such an important point of this.
He is not us.
He was given to us, who was not us.
How many children are called, “Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everylasting Father, Prince of Peace?”
He is human and he is also God.
He is for us.
God became a man, not for Himself.
God wasn’t bored, or need something from becoming a man.
God became human for us.
Though he was unlike us in that he did not sin, he became like us by taking on flesh so that he could suffer the just punishment of sin in our place.
He is a King
It isn’t enough that He was born.
There is something that He would do.
It is why we celebrate the person and work of Jesus.
His government; His peace
There is a policy of heaven toward the people of earth that the King has come to bring to pass.
David’s throne
Who established David’s throne?
David became King because the Lord made Him King.
He was nobody.
Just a boy, a shepherd in a field.
David was the Lord’s anointed … “messiah” …
Isaiah 9:2
The people who walked in darkness
have
seen a great light;
those who dwelt in a land of deep darkness,
on them has light shone.
The light of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ has shone among us (2 Corinthians 4:6).
APPLY
What do we celebrate at Christmas?
