December 24 - Isaiah 9.2-7

War Is Over

2Those who walked in the dark have seen a bright light.
And it shines upon everyone who lives in the land
of darkest shadows.
3Our LORD, you have made your nation stronger.
Because of you, its people are glad and celebrate
like workers at harvest time
or like soldiers dividing up what they have taken.

4You have broken the power of those who abused
and enslaved your people.
You have rescued them just as you saved your people
from Midian.
5The boots of marching warriors
and the blood-stained uniforms have been fed to flames
and eaten by fire.

A Child Has Been Born

6A child has been born for us. We have been given a son
who will be our ruler.
His names will be Wonderful Advisor and Mighty God,
Eternal Father and Prince of Peace.
7His power will never end; peace will last forever.
He will rule David's kingdom and make it grow strong.
He will always rule with honesty and justice.
The LORD All-Powerful will make certain
that all of this is done.
