The Light Of Hope~

Our culture is a culture with more information at the tip of their fingers-

Than all of human history

YET

WE ARE A

Dis-eased culture

Inferiority-

Despair-

Anxiety-

Guilt-

People numbing themselves with drugs antidepressants

Alcohol

Fear of what’s next

Throughout the centuries

People from the non influent to the affluent-

Every one on the planet

Desires hope and desire to live forever…

Humanity desires Hope

Ecc 3:11

He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in the human heart; yet no one can fathom what God has done from Beginning to End.

But there was a Star 💫

A light of Real Hope

The Light Of Hope~

In Gods Love letter to us Humanity

OVER 7 Billion copies HAVE BEEN sold

Isaiah 9:6 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.

A Child is born.

A Son is Given…

—700 years before His Birth- The Prophet

—Micah 5:2 “But you, Bethlehem Ephrathah, Though you are little among the thousands of Judah, Yet out of you shall come forth to Me The One to be Ruler in Israel, Whose goings forth are from of old, From everlasting.”

—Zech. 12:10

God spoke of how He himself would be pierced-

—Isaiah 53:5

But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities; The chastisement for our peace was upon Him, And by His stripes we are healed.

For a child will be born to us, a son will be given to us

——————————————————

“A Child will be born” speaks of the Word becoming flesh

John 1,14, “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God….

14 And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, glory as of the only begotten from the Father, full of grace and truth.”

—Gal. 4:4, “But when the fulness of the time came, God sent forth His Son, born of a woman, born under the Law.”

—Heb. 2:9

But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels, for the suffering of death crowned with glory and honor, that He, by the grace of God, might taste death for everyone.

——————————————————

HE WAS BORN AND GIVEN SO WE COULD BE SAVED FOR ETERNITY-

——————————————————

—Galatians 3:13

Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us (for it is written, “Cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree”),

Duet. 21: 23

who is hung on a pole is under God’s curse.

——————————————————

In that CHILD WAS~

The Majesty of God…

The Glory of God…

HOPE FOR THE WORLD~

The Omnipresence of God was in submission to the Law So you And I Could Have Hope!

IN HUMAN FORM BECAUSE OUR PRICE OF REDEMPTION COULD ONLY COME THROUGH THE BLOOD~

“A son that was given”

is a gracious gift from God the Father….

He Gave…

JESUS SAID

It was the Father who sent the Son.

— John 8:18, “I am He who bears witness of Myself, and the Father who sent Me bears witness of Me.”

John 3:16, “For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish, but have eternal life.”

The Word did NOT give up-

His deity when He joined to human nature and became the person of Jesus, The Christ.

But He Emptied Himself`

Instead,

He SUBMITTED with the limitations of humanity

SO HE COULD REDEEM US FROM THE CURSE OF THE LAW!

Phil. 2:8

8 And being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself and became obedient to the point of death, even the death of the cross.

9 Therefore God also has highly exalted Him and given Him the name which is above every name,

10 that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, and of those on earth, and of those under the earth,

11and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

So, when the Word became flesh.

The eternal became the mortal…

The infinite became finite.

The glory put on sandals

The majestic wore clothing

The creator walked among us

Eternal love eventually became bleeding flesh…

And the government will rest on His shoulders

What does this mean?

The Hebrew word “government”

is (misrah) and it occurs only here and in the next verse.

Isaiah 9:7, “There will be no end to the increase of His government…

Not some frail political reign of man or woman…

Isaiah 22:22, “Then I will set the key of the house of David on His shoulder

when He opens no one will shut when He shuts no one will open.”

John 18:36, “My kingdom is not of this world.”

We are called out of this world, and into the kingdom of God.

And His name will be called
