Scripture Of The Week By JoBeth Kested

Scripture for the week of December 15, 2024
By JoBeth Kested

For unto us a Child is born, unto us a Son is given; and the government will be upon His shoulder. And His name will be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. Isaiah 9:6 (NKJV)

This is one of the most memorable scriptures often quoted in sermons and on Christmas cards this time of year. The Prophet Isaiah made over 100 very specific prophecies about the promised coming of the Jewish Messiah. Jesus fulfilled altogether over 300 Old Testament Messianic prophecies! There are numerous books written by those that have set out to disprove the historical validity of the birth, life and death of Jesus. Instead, they were challenged to bow their knees in faith as a believer. Whatever we may have gone through this year in celebrations, joys or sorrows, may we all embrace the reality of Jesus as our Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Prince of Peace and Emanuel—God with us. Extending Merry Christmas blessings and hopes for the New Year ahead because God’s love came as baby boy born in Bethlehem; and because He died and rose from the dead, He still lives to save us. Wise men still seek Him.
