The prophet Isaiah penned some of the most accurate and profound predictions of Christ that we have in the canon of scripture. As he wrote the precise words, “For to us a child is born, to us a son is given,” did he understand the impact of his description?

As we read those words, our hearts are stirred with awe and gratitude for the Son of God Who came to take away our reproach and sin, Who came to give us eternal life. We know Him. We love Him. We desperately need Him.

Isaiah’s prophecy has had the intended effect upon us … we have been impacted by the Messiah’s mission. Sad to say, Isaiah’s contemporaries had little understanding about the power of his prophecy. We who live in the end of the age clearly benefit from all Christ has done and find great comfort in reading the prophet’s inspired writings.

How can we but praise the God Who has given such a great salvation to us.
