What Makes Christ – The Worthy gift Above All Else? And what kind of Child was He? Isaiah described the Child/Son to be born, in terms of His Nature and Being as fully God and fully man, yet as an infant child, born of the virgin. The long-awaited Messiah, is described by three (3) Realities: 1) Of God's Gracious Gift – v6 c.f. 7v14 – 16. 2) Of His Government (6 – 7) 3) Of His Designated Names – 6. This is God, the very God, who condescended to the level of sinful mankind, to do them good, in providing redemption, through His blood. Therefore, His incarnation was absolutely proportionate to His crucifixion. Thus, His birth meant hope through death to come, for all men. What a comfort, in Christ, this is to us. |
