The birth of any child reveals the miracle of God's creation, but the birth of Jesus Christ uniquely bridges Heaven and Earth. Through Joseph's eyes, we see the extraordinary responsibility of raising One who was both fully human and fully Divine. The humility of Christ's birth in a manger foreshadows His ultimate purpose - to become the perfect sacrifice for humanity's salvation. This same Jesus, who began His earthly journey as a helpless infant, now reigns as King of Kings, watching over us until His return.
"Let's change the powerful name to Isaiah in chapter 9 verse 6. And we want to talk about the name of Jesus this morning. As a matter of fact, if you read through the scriptures, you'll find there's quite a number of names that are given to Jesus. Some of them are titles. Some of them are descriptors of the role that he's in and also of his personhood. Sometimes the name is used to bring out the character of a person. And so in Isaiah chapter 9 and verse 6, we have a mention of some of the names of Jesus."
