" For unto us a Child is born, unto us a Son is given; and the government shall be upon His Shoulder, and His Name shall be called Wonderful, Counselor, The Mighty God, The Everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.” Isaiah 9:6
Today’s verse was written by the prophet Isaiah 700 years before Jesus was born. His prophecy revealed God’s Blessing to humanity for the simple exchange of the remission of sin and acceptance of Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior.
