The Son Is Given
December 19, 2013

Read: Luke 1:26-33

For unto us a Child is born, unto us a Son is given. —Isaiah 9:6

Bible in a Year:
Jonah 1-4; Revelation 10

One of my favorite portions of Handel’s Messiah is the joyous movement “For unto us a Child is born,” from the first part of the oratorio. I especially love how the chorus rises to the phrase, “Unto us a Son is given.” Those words, of course, are taken from Isaiah 9:6, “For unto us a Child is born, unto us a Son is given.” Handel’s majestic music soars with adoration for the Son who came to us in human flesh that first Christmas.

The New Testament clarifies even further who this Son is. In Luke 1, the angelic messenger appeared to Mary and identified the Christ-child in four ways. He would be the son of Mary, making Him fully human (1:31). He would be the Son of the Highest, which made Him fully divine (1:32). He would also be the Son of David, giving Him royal lineage (1:32). And He would bear the title of Son of God (1:35), giving Him equality with the Father in all things. All of the roles the Messiah was called to fill are made possible in these distinct expressions of His Sonship.

As we worship Him this Christmas, may our celebrations be filled with joy and wonder at the fullness of what it means. Our heavenly Father has given us His perfect, sufficient Son. O come, let us adore Him!

Yea, Lord, we greet Thee, born this happy morning,
Jesus, to Thee be all glory given;
Word of the Father, now in flesh appearing;
O come, let us adore Him, Christ the Lord. —Wade

God’s love became incarnate at Bethlehem.

"As we worship Him this Christmas, may our celebrations be filled with joy and wonder at the fullness of what it means. Our heavenly Father has given us His perfect, sufficient Son. O come, let us adore Him!" Christ the Lord!

Wonderful, Rus. Thank you for being here for us.

Wishing you a Blessed Day.

[JustAmy]

Thanks, LTOS!

Wishing you a Wonderful Vacation and a Beautiful Holiday Season.

See you in 2014! Happy New Year!

[JustAmy]

Thank you, Jane. I had a little trouble with this morning’s post.

It has been so long since we’ve had snow that I forgot how to make it snow. :) Did a lot of trial and error before I had it close enough to post.

I’ve been enjoying Christmas Music while doing all the last minute stuff. Oh Man .... Christmas came early!

Wishing you a beautiful day.

[Aquamarine]

Love the song. Have a Merry Christmas.

[JustAmy]

Thank you, Aqua.

How have you been .... haven’t seen you for awhile. Probably more my doing than yours. Marissa keeps me busy.

Wishing you a Merry Christmas and beautiful rest of the year .... and a Blessed New Year! :)

[Aquamarine]

I’m doing pretty good. Busy getting ready for Christmas at our house with the family this weekend.

[JustAmy]

This year I plan to buy part of the Christmas dinner .... I’ve checked with Marie Callender’s. Their “Holiday Feasts” do not look bad but I need to decide what I want to add to it. I am usually ready to sleep for a day or so after Christmas.

Enjoy your family this weekend.

Beautiful! I love that song. :)

[JustAmy]

Thank you, Trisham.

I enjoy Christmas Music. I need to find a way to load several so they keep playing.

Have a Wonderful Day.

You too, Amy!
