“For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called, Wonderful Counsellor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. Of the greatness of his government and peace there will be no end. He will reign on David’s throne, and over his kingdom, establishing and upholding it, with justice and righteousness from that time on and forever. The zeal of the Lord Almighty will accomplish this.” Is 9: 6-7
Emmanuel, God with us! What wonderful and glorious news! We praise God for Jesus, born to us, born for us. Over this Advent and Christmas period we especially pray, maranatha, Come Lord Jesus, bring your kingdom of peace, justice and righteousness to reign in our communities, in prisons, on the streets and across Canada.
