Pride is a Facade- The Light

Pride is a facade
A wall put in place
To hide us from God
As sins we embrace

Out in the open

The Savior was born

Before the Heavens

Let us, Him, adore

Come and see and marvel- 

That He hears us when we pray

He avails Himself to all

As the Light, the Life, the Way!

Come Let Us Adore Him

Jesus Christ's birth as the arrival of divine light fulfilling Isaiah's prophecy, offering freedom from sin and darkness.

Isaiah 7:14, foretells the birth of a child named Immanuel, meaning "God with us." This event is interpreted in the New Testament, specifically in Matthew 1:22-23, as the fulfillment of this prophecy, marking Jesus as the promised Messiah.

Significance of the Prophecy

• Light in Darkness: Isaiah's writings emphasize the hope and light that the Messiah brings to a world shrouded in darkness.
• Freedom from Sin: The birth of Jesus is viewed as a pivotal moment in Christian theology, symbolizing the beginning of salvation and liberation from sin.
