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.
The zeal of the LORD of hosts will do this.
Merry Christmas from Cape Community Church! We have been building up to this day in our daily lives, our shopping habits, and our sermons for weeks. Here we are. Then it is over and now what? Returns and resolutions of weight loss. This verse from Isaiah follows the Christmas card verse of a Prince of Peace. This is the answer to the question, “Now what?” Jesus will increase in power on the throne promised in covenant to David. He will establish a perfect rule, and according to Simeon in Luke 2,
Behold, this child is appointed for the fall and rising of many in Israel, and for a sign that is opposed 35 (and a sword will pierce through your own soul also), so that thoughts from many hearts may be revealed.”
Come to Cape Community Church tomorrow and we will see what Jesus will do next and how we can react. We will see what Cape Community Church will do next. We will ask ourselves, “What are the “I Wills” in your future? The future of the world looks bleak. That is why Isaiah 9 is such a source of hope, joy, peace, and love for those he chose. For those who believe in him, the future is secure and we do not need to worry…
The zeal of the LORD of hosts will do this.
