Yesterday, our pastor preached two wonderful messages from the beautiful prophecy in the 9th chapter of the book of the prophet, Isaiah, where he tells of the divine Child to be born:
"For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, the Prince of Peace".
What a thrilling scripture!! It makes me want to -- "Bow down before Him -- Love and adore Him -- His name is Wonderful -- Jesus, my Lord"! It is difficult, probably impossible, for our finite minds to fully comprehend how Christ could be fully God and still fully man. Truly, "the love of God is greater far than tongue or pen can ever tell."
So on this first Monday of December, let us begin singing the good news of great joy, and keep it ringing in our hearts throughout this blessed, holy season!
"Joy to the world! The Lord is come!
Let earth receive her King;
Let every heart prepare Him room,
And heaven and nature sing!"
