Introducing Jesus (2 of 2)
Series: The Story of Christmas

Isaiah 9:6
First impressions are so important. How many times have you heard that? It is true that the first impression-whether it's a first meeting with a person or the first sentence of a paper-sets the stage for a lasting opinion.

Now another thing is that the government is not going to like Him. What's new? Our government today allows for the Killing of babies, so this boy (like Moses) and so many others will have to take His chances.
But this is not simply a chance for this boy, this is an opportunity with this boy. For this boy hails from the line and lineage of the One who defeated Goliath, He has been spoken of since the fall of man in the Garden of ED ...
