A child has been born for us, a son given to us. Authority rests upon his shoulders;and he is named Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. (Isaiah 9:6)
PICTURE THE SCENE OF THE NATIVITY in your imagination: the cool, star-filled sky over the city of Bethlehem; the harmony of all God’s creatures, where angels, human beings, and animals all come together; the mingling of the different classes of mankind, as wise kings and simple shepherds kneel together in humble reverence.
