To show that Jesus wasn’t merely a baby born in a manger but rather He was Mighty God! That is, He was not only fully God but also full of God in every way! God has always revealed Himself through His names- His names reveal His nature. All the names of God culminate in the name of Jesus, because Jesus is Mighty God.
This Sunday we look at how amazing it is that Isaiah prophesied 700 hundred years before the birth of Jesus that a baby would be born into a dark world bringing joy and light. As we enter the busy and often frustrating month of December, it’s great to realize we have a God who loves us so much He sent His Son, Jesus, to bring us hope and joy.
