Text: Isaiah 9:6-7
Author: Pastor Adedeji Fadehan
Exhortation:
Isaiah 9:6 says, “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.”
All over the world the birth of Christ is celebrated during this season. Most people go on holidays to observe this special time of the year. His birth is indeed significant because Jesus is God himself coming to the world in the form of human in order to show us the way to eternal life. He is able to show us the way because he himself is the Way- John 14:6.
The world is full of scientific facts, theories and philosophies. There are many religions and spiritual sects, each of them claiming to be the truth but Christ himself is the Truth personified. If you want to know the truth about any topic, listen to the word of Christ.
The wages of sin is death but the gift of God is eternal life through Christ Jesus our Lord- Romans 6:23. Sin brought eternal death but Jesus brought the opposite- eternal life. Why is he able to do this? He is himself the Eternal Life. The life of a man is his blood. The eternal life in Christ flows through his precious blood.
The Holy Scriptures established that, “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by him; and without him was not anything made that was made. In him was life; and the life was the light of men. And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.” John 1;1-4;14
Jesus is the reason for the season; Merry Christmas in advance.
Prayer Nugget : Father, may the purpose of the birth of Christ not be defeated in my life in Jesus name.
