Today's Scripture "Christmas Eve" *December 24, 2008*
Isaiah 9: 2-6
The people who walk in darkness
Will see a great light.
Will see a great light.
For those who live in a land of deep darkness,
a light will shine.
a light will shine.
You will enlarge the nation of Israel,
And its people will rejoice.
They will rejoice before you
As people rejoice at the harvest
And like warriors dividing the plunder.
And its people will rejoice.
They will rejoice before you
As people rejoice at the harvest
And like warriors dividing the plunder.
For you will break the yoke of their slavery
And lift the heavy burden from their shoulders.
You will break the oppressor’s rod,
Just as you did when you destroyed the army of Midian.
And lift the heavy burden from their shoulders.
You will break the oppressor’s rod,
Just as you did when you destroyed the army of Midian.
The boots of the warrior
And the uniforms bloodstained by war
Will all be burned.
They will be fuel for the fire.
And the uniforms bloodstained by war
Will all be burned.
They will be fuel for the fire.
For a child is born to us,
a son is given to us.
The government will rest on his shoulders.
And he will be called:
Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God,
Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.
a son is given to us.
The government will rest on his shoulders.
And he will be called:
Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God,
Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.
In a time of great darkness, God promised to send a light who would shine on everyone living in the shadow of death.
He is both "Wonderful Counselor" and "Mighty God".
This message of hope was fulfilled in the birth of Christ and the establishment of His eternal Kingdom. He came to deliver all people from their slavery to sin.
The apostle John also referred to Jesus as the "true light"
John 1: 9 The one who is the true light, who gives light to everyone, was coming into the world.
Jesus also referred to Himself as, "the light of the world".
John 8: 12 Jesus spoke to the people once more and said, “I am the light of the world. If you follow me, you won't have to walk in darkness, because you will have the light that leads to life.”
Whenever we see the lights of Christmas, let them remind us that they recall Christ, our True Light of the World!
Thank You God for this wonderful time of the year!
A time when we can come together and rejoice at the birth of Your Son, Jesus Christ!
May the lights of Christmas remind us of why we celebrate this blessed holiday!
In the Name of Jesus, Amen..
Have a safe and blessed CHRISTmas eve!
God bless you,
April
