The Prophets’ Light of Hope
Text: Isaiah 9: 2-7; (vs2)
Thesis: Jesus came to bring us light. Jesus can satisfy the salvation longings of every person’s heart, from the time of Adam until this very day.
“So the LORD God said to the serpent, "Because you have done this, "Cursed are you above all livestock and all wild animals! You will crawl on your belly and you will eat dust all the days of your life. And I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your offspring and hers; he will crush your head, and you will strike his heel." (Genesis 3: 14-15)
“Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is the Messiah, the Lord.” (Luke 2:11)
Jesus states a Biblical principle, "So the last will be first, and the first will be last." (Mathew 20:16)
“For mine eyes have seen thy salvation Which thou hast prepared before the face of all people; A light to lighten the Gentiles, and the glory of thy people Israel.” (Luke 2:30-32)
“Coming up to them at that very moment, she gave thanks to God and spoke about the child to all who were looking forward to the redemption of Jerusalem.” (Luke 2:38)a. The female gender was recognized and confirmed by God as a valid Spiritual messenger.
“After Jesus was born in Bethlehem in Judea, during the time of King Herod, Magi from the east came to Jerusalem and asked, "Where is the one who has been born king of the Jews? We saw his star when it rose and have come to worship him." (Mathew 2:1&2)
Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with that person, and they with me. (Rev.3:12)
“Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. Come near to God and he will come near to you. Wash your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded.” (James 4:7-8)
