A Reason to Be Merry

For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. Of the increase of his government and peace there will be no end.
Isaiah 9:6-7a
The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the one and only, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth.
John 1:14

And a verse that has struck me with its significance this year; the one the angels said to the shepherds in the open sky over a humble field:

Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace to men on whom his favor rests.
Luke 2:14
