    The world was in such a mess in those days, somewhat like it is today. Very few people were looking for Jesus when He
came to earth. But God had Isaiah present a message to Israel and Judah before they went into captivity, many years before
He actually arrived on earth. The message was one of love and hope to come in the Person of Jesus Christ, "Immanuel." God even told them how Jesus would come "...out the stem of Jesse, and a Branch shall grow out of his roots (Isaiah 11:1);" Jesus would rule and judge from God's perspective. It is His coming to earth to save us that we celebrate at Christmas time. He came
to let us know that as long as we have air in our lungs we have hope and love in the Lord. So lift your voices loud and clear to
celebrate His coming to us with "Merry Christmas!" Do not let anyone take Christ out of Christmas; do not let anyone take Christ
out of you!

For unto us a Child is born, Unto us a Son is given;
