Unto us a Son is given;
And the government will be upon His shoulder.
And His name will be called
Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God,
Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.
Of the increase of His government and peace
There will be no end,
Upon the throne of David and over His kingdom,
To order it and establish it with judgment and justice
From that time forward, even forever.
The zeal of the Lord of hosts will perform this.” (Isaiah 9:6-7 NKJV)
The Advent season is that time when we
seek to, in a manner of speaking, mute our memory of what has already happened,
that we might brighten our joy that it happened. We leave the already of His
advent to taste the bitter of the not yet. We, in short, go back, that we might
look forward to His coming.
