Isaiah 8:21-9:7
Each Sunday in the month of December, we are looking at ancient predictions from Isaiah, an Old Testament prophet concerning the coming Messiah. Isaiah provides for us a trilogy of predictions about Jesus 700 plus years before His birth. This trilogy provides us with the ingredients of what the prophet Isaiah tells us makes a Perfect Christmas. To get the most out of this series, you'll need to keep this phrase in mind: Promise made, promise kept. I invite you to turn your Bible to Isaiah 9 but also place a bookmark at Matthew 4 in the moments to come.

I sprang to my feet and starting yelling and running simultaneously in the hopes of running the intruder out of our home. At the moment where I tackled the would be assassin, my wife yells out, ''It's me! It's me!'' To be my relief and embarrassment, it was my wife, Traci! Somehow in the middle of the night, she got out of bed without me realizing it. I was thankful I did not something worse than yell and scream before I was recognized her.
For many people, you don't have the faith or the certainty in Jesus. He's nothing more than a silhouette for you. You are happy that others find meaningful peace when they talk about Jesus, but nagging doubts loom for you. You ask yourself, ''How can I be sure that Jesus is God?'' Mark this: One of the main ways the earliest people who encountered Him had their uncertainties erased was how Jesus fulfilled biblical p ...
