Christmas and the Story of Salvation | Matt McCullough | Isaiah 9:1-7

To fully appreciate why Jesus?s birth matters so much, we have to understand where it falls in the overarching story the Bible tells about God?s work of salvation. Isaiah 9 offers one of the most important clues, hundreds of years before Jesus was actually born. The prophet claims that the people who walked in darkness have seen a light because a child was born. In other words, we?ve got to understand the meaning of this darkness and we?ve got to understand the meaning of this light if we?re to understand the meaning of the child.
