Isaiah 9:2-6
The people who walked in darkness Have seen a great light; Those who dwelt in the land of the shadow of death, Upon them a light has shined. 3 You have multiplied the nation And increased its joy; They rejoice before You According to the joy of harvest, As men rejoice when they divide the spoil. 4 For You have broken the yoke of his burden And the staff of his shoulder, The rod of his oppressor, As in the day of Midian. 6 For unto us a Child is born, Unto us a Son is given; And the government will be upon His shoulder. And His name will be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.

The light of the world has shone into darkness beyond Israel and to the end of the earth. With great joy we have been led out of the slavery of sin and its taskmaster, just as Israel from Egypt's bondage. Our chains are broken from sin, death, and Hell. Our Savior is wonderful as a counselor to guide and perfect us, He is our all-powerful God, equal to the Father, and is the Prince of Peace as He reconciled us to Himself in the suffering, death on the cross, and rising from death.
