I always think this passage is sooooo beautiful:
"For unto us a child is born, unto us a Son is given, and the government shall be upon His shoulder: and His name shall be called Wonderful Counselor, The Mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace." Isaiah 9:6
And then the same God-Man in Isaiah 53:2-5 "For He shall grow up before him as a tender plant and as a root out of a dry ground: He has no form nor beauty and when we see Him there is no beauty that we should desire Him. He is despised and rejected of men, a Man of sorrows and acquainted with grief and we hid as it were our faces from Him. He was despised and we esteemed Him not. Surely He has borne our griefs and carried our sorrows, yet we did esteem Him stricken, smitten of God and afflicted. He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities and the chastisement of our peace was upon Him and with His stripes we are healed."
Almighty God became man and gave Himself for me. I feel so loved right now - no words. I am going to go put MESSIAH on really LOUD!
