“A Child is Born, A Son is Given”

Today’s reading from Isaiah 9:2-7 paints a beautiful picture of hope fulfilled in the birth of Jesus Christ. Written 700 years before the first Christmas morning, this prophecy celebrates the arrival of a light that shatters darkness, a child born to bring freedom, justice, and everlasting peace. He is the Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, and Prince of Peace.

Isaiah’s words remind us of the deep anticipation and longing for the Messiah, a hope that sustained God’s people through generations. This same hope is ours to embrace today. Amid the busyness and distractions of the season, we’re invited to pause and rediscover the pure joy of Christmas—our salvation through Jesus.

Will you unwrap the gift of joyous hope today? Let the promise of Isaiah 9 renew your heart with childlike faith as we rejoice in the miracle of Jesus’ birth. Celebrate the light of the world and the peace He brings to all who receive Him.

What is Advent? It is the season of remembering and rejoicing. We remember Christ’s first coming as a baby born in Bethlehem and joyfully anticipate his second coming, when he will return to renew and redeem every part of the fallen creation. The Advent season is a time to reflect upon God's promises and anticipate their fulfillment.

Join us on this journey of hope.
