Isaiah chapter 9:
2 The people who walked in darkness
have seen a great light;
those who dwelt in a land of deep darkness,
on them has light shone.
have seen a great light;
those who dwelt in a land of deep darkness,
on them has light shone.
6 For to us a child is born,
to us a son is given;
and the government shall be upon his shoulder,
and his name shall be called
Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God,
Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.
7 Of the increase of his government and of peace
there will be no end,
on the throne of David and over his kingdom,
to establish it and to uphold it
with justice and with righteousness
from this time forth and forevermore.

I'm sure we'll be hearing the Hallelujah chorus soon enough this Christmas. When we do, may we be reminded that God has not left us to our own devices. God enters and re-enters history. God has come down to establish justice and righteousness so that the people who walked in darkness may again see light.
"And the government will be upon his shoulders."
