"For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. Of the greatness of his government and peace there will be no end. He will reign on David’s throne and over his kingdom, establishing and upholding it with justice and righteousness from that time on and forever. The zeal of the Lord Almighty will accomplish this."
Isaiah 9:6-7

I am praying you had a wonderful Christmas week.  I hope your family, Santa, the elves, and the Amazon delivery person brought you everything on your list.  I have had some great family time and seen some of God’s amazing creation.

But most importantly, I desire that you recognize what the prophet Isaiah said a few thousand years ago – “to us a child is born, to us a son is given”.  To US! Of all people, to us a child is given.  We do not deserve it.  We did not earn it.  Yet, God gave his son to us.

The monogrammed grandma sweatshirt is amazing.  The latte machine is incredible.  The wireless karaoke machine is a memory maker for sure.  But unquestionably, the greatest gift you will ever receive in Jesus.  Acknowledge your sin.  Receive him as your Savior.  Walk in forgiveness from the Lord.  Move toward 2025 with freedom and confidence.
