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. (Isaiah 9:6 NIV)
It's kind of overwhelming when we consider the birth, death and resurrection of Jesus. The kids ask so many thought provoking questions like "Why would anyone want to kill babies?" as they listen to the story of King Herod. "How long ago was Jesus born and how come some people don't believe He is real? Santa is harder to believe than Jesus !" Good questions and thoughts! I know this.... He was born of a virgin as prophecy foretold, he lived a human life among us who wrote of the accounts and He died an awful death at our hands and because of that I have life.... I have purpose and meaning and I will live the rest of my life in gratefulness for the great things he has done for us.
Good news of great joy......Christ is born and I live.
