Unto Us a Child is Born

The greatest event in human history was not when man first put his feet upon the moon but when Almighty God came down and walked upon this earth. We call that; the incarnation, and we celebrate it at Christmas. If you do not understand that, you miss the golden key of history.
It would be sad to know biology,
the study of life, and not know Jesus Christ the Giver of life.
It would be sad to know astronomy,
the study of the stars and of the heavens,
and not to know Jesus Christ the bright and morning Star and how to go to heaven.
Sad to know geology,
the study of rocks and geological ages,
and not know Jesus Christ, the Rock of ages.
Sad to know botany, the study of flowers,
and not to know Sharon’s sweetest Rose, the Rose of Sharon.
Sad to know history, from beginning to end and to miss the central event in history, which is the story of Jesus — His story.
A wise man is ignorant,
A rich man is poor, and
A strong man is weak until he knows the Lord Jesus Christ.
A Supernatural Person
Isaiah, seven hundred years before the birth of Christ, wrote, “Unto us a Child is born, unto us a Son is given.”
Now that's not just a repeat of the same thought.
There are two distinct thoughts there.
“A Child” speaks of the humanity of Jesus, and
“A Son” refers to His deity.
A Supernatural Person
A Sovereign Position

Jesus was born as a King? Isaiah 9:6 says "the government shall be upon his shoulders". Verse 7 says: "of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David and upon his kingdom to order it and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even forever".
Isaiah says in the last part of verse 7, "the zeal of the Lord of Hosts will perform this".
He is already the King,
He is already Lord!
You can’t celebrate the His cradle if you have a problem with His crown.
A Supernatural Person
A Sovereign Position
A Saving Power
"His name shall be called Wonderful, Counselor, The mighty God, The everlasting father, The Prince of Peace". Acts 2 says: "And it shall come to pass that everyone who calls upon the of the Lord shall be saved". Some of us have you become oblivious to His name. Insensitive to His name,
Because “unto us, a child is born,
Unto us, a son is given,
His name is Wonderful,
His name is Counselor,
His name is Mighty God,
His name is Everlasting Father….
His name is Jesus,
