Two ancient verses from a fiery prophet unlock some of the most priceless substance about the meaning of Christmas. Isaiah’s words from chapter nine of his prophecy remind us of exactly who Jesus is and what His eternal mission has always been. We cannot afford to get twisted in the tinsel and lost in the lights this Christmas. We are so close to the second coming of Christ that we must slow down and deeply consider what was prophesied about His first coming. His titles mean something. The prophecies mean something. The promises hold something for all who believe. A new world is coming and it will be ruled by a new King - new to this generation that is, but ruling and reigning in Heaven since eternity past. Jesus is our Christmas joy.
