Isaiah 9:6-7 NASB
"For a child will be bornto us, a son will be given to us; And the government will rest on His
shoulders; And His name will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Eternal
Father, Prince of Peace. There will be no end to the increase of His
government or of peace, On the throne of David and over his kingdom, To
establish it and to uphold it with justice and righteousness From then on and
forevermore. The zeal of the LORD of hosts will accomplish this."
Luke 2:8-15
In the same region there
were some shepherds staying out in the fields and keeping watch over their
flock by night. And an angel of the Lord suddenly stood before them, and
the glory of the Lord shone around them; and they were terribly frightened.
But the angel said to them, "Do not be afraid; for behold, I bring you
good news of great joy which will be for all the people; for today in
the city of David there has been born for you a Savior, who is Christ the Lord. This will be a sign for you: you will find a baby wrapped in cloths and
lying in a manger."
And suddenly there appeared with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host
praising God and saying, "Glory to God in the highest, And on earth
peace among men with whom He is pleased."
Merry Christmas, and
Happy Birthday Jesus!
