Isaiah 9:6 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, Counselor, The Mighty God, The Everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.
Mathew 1:2 Isaiah 7:14: therefore the virgin will conceive and bear a son and he shall be called Immanuel "God with Us",
The phrase 'it came to Pass' is used 456 times in the King James Bible. What does it mean? To me it means an expectation of some sort, a desire which was anticipated which eventually became a reality and is now in the past, but also lives with us in the present.
This phrase reminds me of the Christmas story, Isaiah prophesied about the birth of our saviour, he did not just used nice words, but he declared what the Saviour will be and do.
In Mathew the angel Gabriel appeared to Mary and told her what would come to pass. That she will be the mother to the Saviour of the world. The Angels words fulfilled Isaiah's prophecy, indeed, came to pass when Jesus was born.
During his time on earth as a man he indeed was a wonderful counsellor, he counsel the tax collector, a man who had been dishonest in his dealings with others. Jesus sat down with him and had a straight talk about his attitude. Jesus was a counsellor to his disciples, he brought peace and hope to Mary and Mattar, when Lazarus died. He restored peace on the high seas while in the boat and out of the boat.
He also brought peace to many heart by his very presence and the healing he performed.
Today Jesus is with us in our hearts. He promised not to leave us and we as Christians can tell of His presence in our lives. He's indeed God with us.
God with us, guiding, directing and helping us here on earths journey till we meet him in heavens shores.
This Christmas we celebrate God with us, now and every day.
With us, in us, by us his presence so great
His person so real,
In love birthed
My Saviour my God,
No other can rival
Merry Christmas
