Isaiah 9:2 NKJV - The people who walked in darkness have seen a great light; Those who dwelt in the land of the shadow of death, upon them a light has shone.
Isaiah 9:2 proclaims the fulfillment of God’s promise that a great light would shine into the darkness, a prophecy realized in the birth of Jesus Christ. Described as the Dayspring, Rising Sun, and Bright Morning Star, Jesus is the Light of the World who brings life, hope, and peace to those dwelling in spiritual darkness. From Old Testament prophecy to New Testament fulfillment, Scripture consistently reveals Jesus as the true and supreme Light who cannot be extinguished by darkness. As followers of Christ, we are called to walk in His light and reflect that light to a dark and weary world, especially during the Christmas season.
