WE WELCOME a new little nephew into our family. He was born on Easter Sunday. May God richly bless you little Dale, and may your dear parents bring you up in the “nurture and admonition of the Lord.”
God wrote several things about HIS beloved Son when He came into the world as a baby.
In Isa. 9:6, we read, “For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given and the government shall be upon His shoulder; and His name shall be called Wonderful, Counselor, The Mighty God, The Everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.”
“But thou, Bethlehem Ephratah, though thou be little among the thousands of Judah yet out of thee shall He come forth unto Me that is to be ruler in Israel; Whose goings forth have been of old from everlasting.” Mic. 5:2.
“Then Simeon took the baby Jesus up in his arms and blessed God, and said... mine eyes have seen Thy salvation, which Thou hast prepared before the face of all people; a light to lighten the Gentiles, and the glory of Thy people Israel.” Luke 2:25-33.
So we get a picture of God, the Father, God the Son, and God, the Holy Spirit planning man’s redemption and salvation before the foundation of the world.
God, the Son, came in the form of a human being to suffer and die for us.
He says to His Father, “A body hast Thou prepared Me.” Heb. 10:5. “But when the fullness of the time was come God sent forth His Son made of a woman.” Gal. 4:4.
“God hath saved us and called us with an holy calling, not according to our works, but according to His own purpose and grace, which was given us in Christ Jesus before the world began.” 2 Tim. 1:9.
