Introduction:
1. Isaiah 9:6 is a great verse concerning our Saviour. It tells us He is a child and He is a son.
2. He was born a child but he was always the Son of God. The child had to be born but the son had to be given.
3. This verse shows the significance of both the “child” and the “son”.
4. In this verse we see the “coming of the king”— yet to come
5. Through Jesus everything is taken care of in life.
6. Isaiah Looked down the years of time called “future” and saw our wonderful lamb.

(Colossians 1:20-22) And, having made peace through the blood of his cross, by him to reconcile all things unto himself; by him, I say, whether they be things in earth, or things in heaven. 21 And you, that were sometime alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked works, yet now hath he reconciled 22 In the body of his flesh through death, to present you holy and unblamable and unreprovable in his sight:

VI. His Name Is Jesus - Immanuel
(Luke 1:31) And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt call his name JESUS.
(Matthew 1:23) Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us.
(Isaiah 7:14) Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel.
CONCLUSION: As we look at all that we have before us.
We note the first thing said “For unto us a child is born.” This birth is a birth that for our Salvation is required. Otherwise we will have no blood given for our sins.
God has given “unto us a son is given” without what God has given where would we be, all of us heading straight to hell, with no way out. No redemption
Only through the Birth of this God/Man, this baby Jesus, God’s only begotten Son, He was born so He could hang on that cross for our sins. Not only die for our sins but also claim victory over death and Satan, with His resurrection.
As we approach this CHRISTmas Season, let us remember what God has done for each of us, through this Virgin birth of His Only Begotten Son, our Saviour Jesus the Christ.
The amazing part is that He did it all for a people as good as filthy rags, people not concerned about what He had done in the past, nor were they concerned about what was happeneing.
He did it all for the “possibility” that we would accept His Son Jesus.
Have you accepted Him?
