A Child Will Be Born

For a child will be born to us, a son will be given to us;
Isaiah‬ ‭9:6‬a ‭NASB1995‬‬
https://bible.com/bible/100/isa.9.6.NASB1995

Isaiah, a prophet of the Old Testament, spoke of a coming child. A child who would be born, but not just any child. . .

Therefore the Lord Himself will give you a sign: Behold, a virgin will be with child and bear a son, and she will call His name Immanuel.
Isaiah‬ ‭7:14‬ ‭NASB1995‬‬
https://bible.com/bible/100/isa.7.14.NASB1995

A child born of a virgin. A child who would be Immanuel, God with us!!

It was even revealed to Isaiah the geneology of this child and what attributes this child would have.
‭‭
Then a shoot will spring from the stem of Jesse, And a branch from his roots will bear fruit.
The Spirit of the Lord will rest on Him, The spirit of wisdom and understanding, The spirit of counsel and strength, The spirit of knowledge and the fear of the Lord.
Isaiah‬ ‭11:1‭-‬2‬ ‭NASB1995‬‬
https://bible.com/bible/100/isa.11.1.NASB1995
‭‭
This is a child worthy of following and aspiring to be like.

For He grew up before Him like a tender shoot, And like a root out of parched ground; He has no stately form or majesty That we should look upon Him, Nor appearance that we should be attracted to Him.
Isaiah‬ ‭53:2‬ ‭NASB1995‬‬
https://bible.com/bible/100/isa.53.2.NASB1995

Humble and plain. And yet, majestic, worthy of praise, worship, devotion, and our love and attention.

‭‭🌹for today in the city of David there has been born for you a Savior, who is Christ the Lord.
Luke‬ ‭2:11‬ ‭NASB1995‬‬
https://bible.com/bible/100/luk.2.11.NASB1995

I pray your Christmas Season is filled with praise for and to Jesus, who stepped out of heaven to come as a baby into this world to save it. God bless your Christmas Season.
‭‭
“For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life.
John‬ ‭3:16‬ ‭NASB1995‬‬

    • Thank you so much for your reply! There are so many treasures to be found in the Old Testament. It takes prayer and time to put one of these devotions together, but I learn so much. To God be the glory! 🙌
