Therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign:
The virgin will be with child and will give birth to a son,
and will call him Immanuel (God with us). (Isaiah 7:14)
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God,
and the Word was God.
He was with God in the beginning.
Through Him all things were made;
without Him nothing was made that has been made.
In Him was life, and that life was the light of men.
The light shines in the darkness, but the darkness has not understood it. (John 1:1-5)
The true light that gives light to every man
was coming into the world.
He was in the world, and though the world was made through Him,
the world did not recognize Him.
He came to that which was His own, but His own did not receive Him.
Yet to all who received Him, to those who believed in His name,
He gave the right to become children of God
— children born not of natural descent,
nor of human decision or a husband’s will, but born of God.
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 1:9-14)
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.
He will reign on David’s throne and over His kingdom, establishing and upholding it with justice and righteousness from that time on and forever.
The zeal of the LORD Almighty will accomplish this. (Isaiah 9:6-7)
… that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow,
in heaven and on earth and under the earth, (Philippians 2:10)
beautiful! It looks like a crown in candy cane water.
Thank you. That was my goal, besides wanting to honor the King of Kings!
Outstanding and appropriate! Well done, Betty!
