SERIES: 31 REASONS TO CELEBRATE CHRISTMAS

Isaiah 9:6-7
For unto us a Child is born, unto us aÂ Son is given; andÂ the government will be upon His shoulder. And His name will be called Wonderful, Counselor,Â Mighty God, Everlasting Father,Â Prince of Peace.^ÂOf the increase ofÂ HisÂ government and peace there will beÂ no end, upon the throne of David and over His kingdom, to order it and establish it with judgment and justice from that time forward, even forever. TheÂ zeal of theÂ LordÂ of hosts will perform this.

We celebrate Christmas because we celebrate Jesus

the everlasting Father
the possessor and author of all eternity
the Father who protects and provides for His children

Lord we worship you for you are indeed from everlasting to everlasting.
You provide and protect your children.
