Isaiah 9:6 “For unto us a child is born . . .”
The prophet Isaiah predicts a child shall be born to us, one who will be called many wonderful names, one who will be a counselor and an agent for peace.
This child shall be given wisdom and understanding and will judge with righteousness everything that is given him to judge.
This child is not born of the will of the flesh but rather born of the will of God.
Look at all things in terms of the kind of spiritual child God wills to birth in us. Look again at Isaiah and think of this prediction in terms of an individual, unique child born to each of us. In addition to whatever we believe about Jesus, God wants to give us each a godchild born of the Holy Spirit into our conscious awareness who will change for always the way we think and behave in this life.
