Last Sunday afternoon, we heard from Isaiah 9 together. This passage gives us a glorious promise of Jesus’ birth. In particular, God promises that a son will be born who will be the perfect King forever. Even more, this son will be both God and man in one person. As Christians, we know the promised son of Isaiah 9 is Jesus, the true King, the God-man who has come to save us from our sins. Isaiah 9 also promises us what Jesus will accomplish: He will bring us perfect hope, joy, and peace. As Christians, we have the hope, joy, and peace of knowing God through Jesus even now. We also have the perfect hope, joy, and peace of a new creation that is coming where we will live in the presence of King Jesus forever. This week, take some time to thank God for the gift of Jesus and for the blessings that Jesus brings us, both now and forever.
