Let's prepare our hearts for the true meaning of Christmas by examining God's provocative & powerful promise of the Birth of a Child. This is a promise God made 700 years before the angel appeared to Mary, or Joseph led Mary to Bethlehem. Please join me in the writings of the Old Testament Prophet, Isaiah (these two texts are intertwined, the second text sums up the promise of the first): 7:14 and then 9:6-7.
The LORD speaks to a faithless king, a threatened nation and the dying world thru the prophet Isaiah. "Take hope!" God guarantees the gift of a Son to rule over His people. That promise begins to find its fulfillment in Bethlehem, then at Calvary.
Let's consider four reasons why Mary's journey to Bethlehem didn't start in Nazareth and is much more than just a great story: 1. Miraculous conception (7:14). 2. Marvelous titles (9:6). 3. Mighty government (9:6, 7). 4. Matchless guarantee (9:7).
