Key Verse: 9:6

First, a Great Light (1-5). Like the oppressed people of Naphtali and Zebulun, all people on earth used to walk in the darkness of sin, death and Satan. Nevertheless, God promised and sent Jesus as the Great Light to drive out all the darkness of our hearts. He shatters the yokes of Satan through his death. His resurrection gives us true joy and victory as at the harvest and in Medians' defeat. There is peace with God and among men.

Second, for to us a child is born (6-7). Jesus came as a baby in a manger. But He is God! Jesus is Wonderful Counselor to whom we can bring any problems. He is God Almighty who can save us from strong Satan, death and sin. He is Everlasting Father who protects and trains us to be like him. He is Prince of Peace who brings peace with God and with others. He rules with justice and righteousness forever.

Prayer: Lord, thank you for sending Jesus to shine through our darkness. Praise Jesus who is Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father and Prince of Peace for each of us.

One Word: Baby Jesus, a Great Light, Mighty God!
