Sermon #529
This Christmas Eve we are looking at the text from Isaiah which prophecies the coming Messiah. Isaiah begins by speaking of the darkness that has fallen over the northern kingdom of Israel - the darkness of war and the conquest of the Assyrian empire. God had used Assyria to punish rebellious Israel, and the northern kingdom would never be the same again. In Jesus' time, this area was called Samaria and Galilee - and it was out of a town in Galilee called Nazareth that salvation would come, in the person of Jesus Christ. So out of the darkness of sin and apostasy, God has brought forth a great light, and Isaiah had told of this seven hundred years before Jesus was born. Today, God is still bringing people out of the darkness of their sin into the light of Christ, and my own testimony bears this out.
Isaiah 9:2-7
