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. (Isaiah 9:6)
Sin alienates us from God and puts us at enmity with Him. It makes us enemies of God. And until the issue of sin is dealth with and paid in full, there can be no reconciliation. Thus God sent the only One who can reconcile us to Himself - the Prince of Peace, the Lord Jesus Christ - by paying for all our sins. This is what Christmas is all about, Beloved - peace with God through the birth, death and resurrection of our Lord Jesus.
