Nehemiah 10:1-11:36; Zechariah 7:1-14; Revelation 15:1-8

For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. Isaiah 9:6

Here is a great mountain peak verse of Scripture! These are majestic words that remind us the Child born of the virgin, and of the Son given by the Father; uniquely both Man and God, human and divine! The virgin born Child was destined to die. The Son given is destined to reign forever and ever. As we celebrate this blessed season, may our hearts reflect back and at the same time look forward with great anticipation. —Jim Comte

Veiled in flesh, the Godhead see; hail, th’incarnate Deity,
Pleased, as man with men to dwell, Jesus, our Emmanuel.   —Charles Wesley
