UNTO US A CHILD IS BORN

Scripture: Isaiah 9:6 “For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counseller, The Mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.”

     One of the greatest moments in the history of mankind was the day that the Lord Jesus made the trip from Heaven above to be born in a little stable in Bethlehem. You may think of other things that you believe for sure are more important, but wait, first look at what might have been had He never come to earth.
     Had Jesus never come to earth, we would have no means of salvation available to us. In the misery of our lost condition there would be no hope. Had He never been born, our lives would be locked away in the prison house of sin and despair forever. There would be no relief from our troubles. There would be not help in our time of need. There would be nothing lasting to ever look forward too!
     If Jesus had not been born in Bethlehem that day long ago, there would be no fundamental, Bible believing churches to worship in today. There would be no New Testament. There would be no “Amazing Grace” to sing about. There would be no place of refuge for our troubled souls. If He had never been born, we would have no hope!
     But the good news is that Jesus was born into the old sinful world to later go to Calvary and shed His blood and die for our sins. He came that we might have hope. He came that we might be saved. He came that there might be a remedy for our sinful lives. He came that we might be born again into the family of God! That little baby, lying in the manger, would one day die on the cross for our sins and make it possible for the whole world to be saved! What could be more important than that? Had He not come, the cross would not have been possible!
