To Us a Son is Given

Largely unnoticed by the world, there, in Bethlehem, lay God’s plan to rescue His sinful people. As unexpected as this plan sounds, it’s actually one that God foretold centuries earlier. In spite of His people’s rebellion, God had determined to pour out His grace on them.

Isaiah spoke of a “child” to be born, a “son” given to rescue God’s people. This child would surpass all others who had come before Him, for He would be called “Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.” Such titles are only appropriate for God’s fully divine Son. If you’ve been following the Christmas story, then it should come as no surprise that this promised One, this Messiah, was Jesus.

Isaiah also tells us that this promised child would be a son from David’s royal line and that His kingdom would have no end. In contrast to the many wicked rulers in Israel’s history, this King would be known for His righteousness and justice. He would be the Savior God’s people did not deserve but so desperately needed.

Simple Summary

Even though God’s people, Israel, had rebelled against Him, God planned to rescue them by sending a child who would become an everlasting King. This child would one day rule God’s people with righteousness and justice. He would be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, and Prince of Peace. This King from David’s line would provide salvation for Israel and for the world.

Pray

Ask God to help you submit to Christ’s rule in all areas of your life.
