Merry Christmas 2025

 The Savior of the world was to be undiminished deity, eternally united with full humanity, in one Person; the Lord Jesus Christ. This astonishing prophecy in Isaiah confirms this fact in a few short words.
 As a member of the human race, the Savior was the first BORN baby of the virgin Mary: "A Child is born," for He shall save His people from their sins. As the second member of the triune Godhead, the Savior was the only begotten Son of God: "A Son is given," for God so loved the world that he GAVE the beloved Son of His love, Jesus Christ, to be our Redeemer.
 Every name and every attribute that is ascribed to this unique Person has the seal of the eternal Trinity etched into its very fabric. No one else but God can qualify to be called 'Wonderful' for we read in the Bible that His name is Wonderful. And God alone is the perfect Counsellor, for in Christ dwelt all the wisdom of the Godhead bodily. And the Spirit of the LORD rested upon Him; the Spirit of wisdom and of understanding, the Spirit of counsel and of might, the Spirit of the knowledge and reverence for the Lord. Christ Jesus is indeed our "Wonderful Counsellor."
 The Lord Jesus Christ is that Child that was BORN and He is that Son that was GIVEN. No surprise that His name shall be called: "Wonderful Counsellor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace."
Isaiah 9:6 For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.

Our United Prayer:
Loving Lord, no matter how many times we read of the wonder of Your incarnation as the Word made flesh, it fills us with wonder and praise. Lord, we worship You in the beauty of holiness, and we bow down before Your throne of grace in wonder, for holy is Your name. Lord, Bless all the families in the world as we celebrate our savior today, In Jesus' name we Pray, AMEN.
