Advent Day 15 - Prophecy

The prophecy was our hope before we were born.  A child would be born - Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.

For further study:  Isaiah 7:14 - 15

For parents and children:  Define prophecy for your children (a prophecy is God's promise of what is to come).  Talk to them about how many prophecies of Jesus' birth were made long before that first Christmas night.  Help them to understand that the fact that all these promises about Jesus came true means that we can trust all the promises that God makes to us.

"Sin reduces all of us to fools.  In our foolishness we see the world inside out and upside down.  We look at what is false and see truth.  We look at what is foolish and see wisdom."

"Sin renders us unable.  So Jesus came to do by divine power what we would not do for ourselves."

"God will unleash his almighty power and authority to guarantee that all that was promised in the birth of Jesus would be delivered to each one of his children."

For the month of December, there will be daily posts based on Paul Tripp's Advent book Come Let Us Adore Him.
