For Unto Us

A promise to the world, a child to be given

so many years foretold so all could be forgiven.

Moonless night shining, with the Morning Star

calling watchful shepherds to come from afar.

Wise Men carry gifts, meant for only a King

angels up in heaven Glory Glory sing.

God became a man, the Good News is born

begotten Son arrives on this Christmas morn.

Our mighty God concedes, to the wickedness of man

the Prince of Peace comes to bridge the empty span.

Wonderful is His name, Counsellor to the meek

the Son was born of flesh to give power to the weak.

Our everlasting Father, knows our fallen state

so He sent His only Son to save us from our fate.

A promise to the world, our Lord and Saviour is born

sing Praises to His Glory on this Christmas morn!

By Deborah Ann Belka

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, Counsellor, the mighty God, the everlasting Father, the Prince of Peace. Isaiah 9:6 (KJV)

When I read this poem and contemplate these scriptures, I am flooded with this thought ‘Father God, who are we, that You are mindful of us?’ What have we done to deserve such an incredible demonstration of His love, that He would send to us, the most incredible gift, the ultimate gift, the gift more precious than any other? The gift of His Son, Jesus!

‘Behold, the virgin shall be with child, and bear a Son, and they shall call His name Immanuel’, which is translated, ‘God with us’. Matthew 1:23 (KJV)

As we enter this special time of Christmas, I pray God’s richest blessings upon you and your family. May you enjoy positive family time, safe travels, moments of rest and reflection, good health, peace and joy! In the busyness of the period, I hope you would have time to consider Jesus and God’s incredible gift of Him to us. 

God bless,

Pastor Matt Daly
