Isaiah 9:6-7
For unto us a Child is born, 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. 7 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.
賽9:6-7
6 因有一嬰孩為我們而生；有一子賜給我們。政權必擔在他的肩頭上；他名稱為「奇妙策士、全能的 神、永在的父、和平的君」。7 他的政權與平安必加增無窮。他必在大衛的寶座上治理他的國，以公平公義使國堅定穩固，從今直到永遠。萬軍之耶和華的熱心必成就這事。
Have you ever been to a Handel’s Messiah concert? I had a chance to attend one years ago. Toward the end of the concert, hundreds of audiences joined the choir and sang the Hallelujah chorus. “For unto us a Child is born, unto us a Son is given...And the government will be upon His shoulder….” The majestic voices of the entire audiences seemed to have shaken the hall and the heaven that evening. Tears of adoration streamed down my face as I sang. Such a wonderfull Present is the Gift that our loving heavenly Father has given His children. All that our souls have ever needed are found in Him.
ReplyDeleteWe praise you Father for Your Son and for the fact that “Of the increase of His government and peace there will be no end” (v7)!
