“A Child is Born, A Son is Given”

Today’s reading from Isaiah 9:2-7 paints a beautiful picture of hope fulfilled in the birth of Jesus Christ. Written 700 years before the first Christmas morning, this prophecy celebrates the arrival of a light that shatters darkness, a child born to bring freedom, justice, and everlasting peace. He is the Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, and Prince of Peace.

Isaiah’s words remind us of the deep anticipation and longing for the Messiah, a hope that sustained God’s people through generations. This same hope is ours to embrace today. Amid the busyness and distractions of the season, we’re invited to pause and rediscover the pure joy of Christmas—our salvation through Jesus.

Will you unwrap the gift of joyous hope today? Let the promise of Isaiah 9 renew your heart with childlike faith as we rejoice in the miracle of Jesus’ birth. Celebrate the light of the world and the peace He brings to all who receive Him.

From the triumphal entry on Palm Sunday to the quiet hope of Holy Saturday, each episode invites you to encounter the love, humility, and sacrifice of Christ in a fresh way. Whether you’re walking, commuting, or sitting quietly with your morning coffee, let this devotional companion draw you into the deeper meaning of Holy Week and the peace Jesus offers through the cross and resurrection.
