Christmas Reading PlanSample

Today we are going to look at an amazing chapter in the Old Testament - Isaiah 9. This chapter illuminates a group of people who had been greatly suffering and a vow for that suffering to end. Isaiah was saying that God’s promises will be fulfilled and there will be great joy. A Messiah will be born, and He will give them victory over all their troubles. He will come as a man so that He can relate to their sorrows but will live a perfect life so He can give the ultimate atonement for their sins.

He will be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, and Prince of Peace. Unlike the Israelites, we do not have to wait for this promise to be fulfilled. Jesus was born! He is the King of kings and Lord of lords. He has taken our sin and replaced it with His mercy and grace. His love is so great there is literally nothing that can separate you from Him.

Do you know this Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace? I pray that as you go about your busy holiday, you remember this is the real reason we celebrate...to thank and worship the God who saved us.

I pray that this plan has helped you understand more about the amazing events we celebrate in the month of December and encouraged you to spend more time in worship! Want more content like this? Explore other resources from Katie Hauck Ministries.
