Nehemiah 7:1-73; Zechariah 2:1-3:10; Revelation 12:1-17
And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt call his name Jesus. He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Highest: and the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of his father David: And he shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever; and of his kingdom there shall be no end. Luke 1:31-33
In this angelic announcement are seven “shalls”, revealing the divine certainties that came with our Saviour’s birth. They are the miracle of His birth, the meaning of His Name, the magnitude of His work, the majesty of His Person, the moment of His glory, the manner of His rule and the magnificence of His kingdom. Perfect Person! Perfect work! —Mark Kolchin
Oh, what a Saviour that He died for me!
From condemnation He hath made me free. —James McGranahan
