“For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given, and the government will be upon His
shoulders. And He will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince
of Peace."
Isaiah 9:6. NRSVUE
Second Day After Christmas
In the beginning the Word was with God and the Word became flesh and dwelt among us
fulfilling all the Old Testament prophecies that He would be born of a virgin, having God alone
as His Father. His name became Jesus who was chosen before the foundation. Isaiah 7:14
Isaiah was a prophet and offered messages from the Lord of both judgement and hope. Jesus
becoming flesh means that God dwells with His people permanently, never leaving us alone.
1 Corinthians. 3:16
Sister Dorothy Payne Bryan, Ph.D.
Circle of Twelve
Prayer: Father thank you for the birth of Jesus. Because He became flesh and dwelt among us, I
can experience His glory, grace, and truth through belief in the gospel. Thank you for your
promise that through His birth you will never leave us alone. Amen
