The Reason Christ Came to Earth

The Reason Christ Came to Earth

Isaiah 9:6 states, “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.”
         All these wonderful names of God give us a glimpse of who the Christ of Christmas is and what He does for us.  He did not come to earth for Himself.  He came for you and for me.  That was His sole purpose for leaving the splendors of heaven and being born in a lowly manger.
       Be sure to remind all the musicians who are “under your hands for Christmas song” and all the people to whom you minister musically the reason Christ came to earth.  Tell them that God the Father gave the greatest gift possible to us on Christmas day.  He gave his only son to be our wonderful counselor and mighty savior.  The government is upon His shoulder!  No matter how mixed up things seem to be in this present world, God is in control.  He is a wonderful mighty God who can and will take care of everything that perplexes his children.
       Some of the musicians that you work with did not have a father during their growing up years.  Remind them during this Christmas season that Jesus is an everlasting Savior and friend and an “everlasting Father”.  He will bring peace out of the troubles of life because Jesus is “The Prince of Peace”.
