For unto us a child is born,
to us, a son is given
and the government shall be on his shoulder.
Isaiah 9:6a
Isaiah prophesied the birth of the Savior. What does he say
in these words?
unto us
Can we imagine what the original hearers or readers thought
when Isaiah communicated these words? “Why would God choose to share anything
with us?” “Who are we to receive anything from God?” We now know that God chose
to send us this gift because of His love for us.
a child is
born,
God chose for a
child, His child, to be born into our world. God had previously sent emissaries
in the form of prophets to carry His message to the people. It was God’s desire
that the people would receive this child, listen to His teachings, and live the
life God intended for them.
the
government shall be on his shoulder.
This child was to be the source of all governments. It was
God’s desire that all laws were to be based on God’s Word.
As we try to live for Jesus in our daily lives, do we
understand the concept that all of
our laws should have their basis in God’s word? Even our individual conduct
should reflect God and His Word.
