Nehemiah 13:1-31; Zechariah 9:1-10:12; Revelation 17:1-18
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
Entering into time, the eternal Son was given to us. Only an infinite holy God could pay the penalty for sin. Only a human could die as our Kinsmen-Redeemer. Therefore, the Son of God took upon Himself human flesh while remaining God. Christ, the Son of Man died for our sins. Praise God for giving us our Prince of Peace! —George Ferrier
Silent night, holy night! Son of God, love’s pure light;
Radiant beams from Thy holy face;
With the dawn of redeeming grace,
Jesus, Lord, at Thy birth. —Joseph Mohr
