A Christmas Story Week One

The Christmas story begins back in the Old Testament. Isaiah chapter seven starts to tell us about a virgin giving birth to Immanuel. The Old Testament is full of stories of judgement but God continues to remind there is hope. Isaiah foretold the story of the virgin giving birth over 400 years before it happened. It was a long time to hold onto hope. That is part of what makes the Christmas story so amazing. That people didn’t give up hope and realized who the Messiah was over 400 years after His birth was foretold.
