Isaiah

The people walking in darkness have seen a great light;
on those living in the land of the shadow of death
a light has dawned.
You have enlarged the nation and increased their joy;
they rejoice before you as people rejoice at the harvest,
as men rejoice when dividing the plunder.
For as in the day of Midian's defeat,
you have shattered the yoke that burdens them,
the bar across their shoulders,
the rod of their oppressor.
Every warrior's boot used in battle
and every garment rolled in blood
will be destined for burning,
will be fuel for the fire.
FOR UNTO US A CHILD IS BORN,
UNTO US A SON IS GIVEN,
AND THE GOVERNMENT WILL BE ON HIS SHOULDERS.
AND HE WILL BE CALLED
WONDERFUL, COUNSELLOR, MIGHTY GOD,
EVERLASTING FATHER, PRINCE OF PEACE.
(Isaiah 9vv2-6.)

Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace to men on whom his favour rests.
(Luke 2v14)

The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the One and Only, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth.
(John 1v14)

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE. REMEMBER JESUS.
