Unto Us a Son is Born | Toby Sumpter

This great Christmas verse should be understood as connected to the prophecy of the virgin birth and helps to confirm the New Testament’s insistence that Jesus is the child who was born of virgin to save us and our pitiful world.

But this is no mere spiritual reality; it is the ground of our confidence that Christ’s government and peace will increase until all of His enemies have been put beneath His feet. The One who was born in Bethlehem is the King of this world.

The Text: “For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even for ever. The zeal of the LORD of hosts will perform this” (Is. 9:6-7).
