28 days until Christmas!
Isaiah 9:6 For to us a child is born, to us a son is given; and the government shall be upon his shoulder, and his name shall be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.(ESV)
The book of Isaiah was written at least seven hundred years before the birth of Christ. God made a way for the salvation of all mankind long before the world was formed. He planned for the birth of His son before He created Adam and Eve.
If we read the bible not as a manual for how to do life, even though it certainly qualifies, but rather as the story all about Jesus and the wonderful work He has done, is doing, and is going to do, then we begin to look at our own lives in that context. How do we fit in with His story? This question will inform nearly every aspect of our lives and put us much closer to walking in the will of God.
