Advent 2023: I Was Born for You and My Name is Jesus! by Sis. Dorothy Payne Bryan, Ph.D.



 

“For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given, and the government will be upon His

shoulders. And He will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince

of Peace."

Isaiah 9:6. NRSVUE

 

Second Day After Christmas


In the beginning the Word was with God and the Word became flesh and dwelt among us

fulfilling all the Old Testament prophecies that He would be born of a virgin, having God alone

as His Father. His name became Jesus who was chosen before the foundation. Isaiah 7:14


Isaiah was a prophet and offered messages from the Lord of both judgement and hope. Jesus

becoming flesh means that God dwells with His people permanently, never leaving us alone.

1 Corinthians. 3:16


Sister Dorothy Payne Bryan, Ph.D.

Prayer: Father thank you for the birth of Jesus. Because He became flesh and dwelt among us, I

can experience His glory, grace, and truth through belief in the gospel. Thank you for your

promise that through His birth you will never leave us alone. Amen
