Do You Hear What I Hear? (1 of 4)
Series: Do You See What I See?

Isaiah 7:1-14
OPEN: Sing this with me:
''Said the night wind to the little lamb
Do you see what I see?
Way up in the sky little lamb
DO YOU SEE WHAT I SEE?
A star, a star dancing in the night,
with a tail as big as a kite,
with a tail as big as a kite
''Said the little lamb to the shepherd boy
Do you hear what I hear?
Ringing through the sky shepherd boy?
DO YOU HEAR WHAT I HEAR?
A song, a song high above the trees,
with a voice as big as the sea,
with a voice as big as the sea
Said the shepherd boy to the mighty king
Do you know what I know?
In your palace warm mighty king.
DO YOU KNOW WHAT I KNOW?
A child, a child shivers in the cold
Let us bring him silver and gold,
Let us bring him silver and gold
Those are the first 3 - of the 4 verses - of the song ''Do you hear what I hear?''
Did you notice the sections of each verse that I highlighted?
Do you SEE what I see?
Do you HEAR what I hear?
Do you KNOW what I know?
The last verse has the mighty king declaring: ''LISTEN to what I say!''
What's this song about?
It's about Jesus isn't it?
It's about His birth
The singer is declaring:
''I've seen. I've heard. I know...
Therefore: listen to what I say!!!!''
It's a Christmas song of Praise to Jesus.
Because Jesus is the ''reason for the season.''
ILLUS: I read the true story of a woman who entered her local library and said
''I'd like to find a book on the 'real meaning of Christmas.' Nothing religious though.''
Now does that strike you as odd?
Of course it does, because the ''real meaning'' of Christmas is all about the baby Jesus born to a virgin.
And that's what PART of our scripture is about this morning:
''The virgin will be with child and will give birth to a son, and will call him Immanuel.'' Isaiah 7:14
Isn't that cool?
About 700 years before Jesus was born, God makes this declaration.
