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.”

On this Christmas Day this is possibly one of the greatest Scriptures of hope we can find in the Bible. This Prophecy of Isaiah shows us plainly both the humanity and Divinity of Jesus Christ…giving us the real assurance that He is indeed – Immanuel – God with us. Also that Jesus is the promised Messiah born as a baby in humble surroundings in Bethlehem. But Jesus is also fully God as told to us in John 3:16,”For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son…” This was the only way that we could ever be reconciled to God…For God is perfect, but cannot die, and we humans aren’t perfect, but can die…so to be that perfect sacrifice, once for all, Jesus -fully man and fully God- came to died for our sins… born to die that we may live.
