Merry Christmas

From one of my favorite scriptural passages:

Isaiah 9:6 (New International Version, ©2010)


6 For to us a child is born,
to us a son is given,
and the government will be on his shoulders.
And he will be called
Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God,
Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.

It is a message of hope and comfort; the quintessential meaning of Christmas.

Daniel B. Wallace's The Birth of Jesus Christ supplies historic details about events related to the birth of Christ.
