Eternal God

Seven hundred years before Jesus was born, the nation of Israel was in a mess. Assyria was threatening to invade from the north, and the people of God were living in darkness and fear. King Ahaz wanted to protect Judah, but instead of trusting God, he took matters into his own hands and sought alliances with foreign powers. In the midst of this chaos, God gave a message to the prophet Isaiah, a message of hope. He told them that a child would be born, a son would be given, and that this Son would be the answer to their greatest problem. God didn’t offer a military strategy or political solution; He promised a baby, His Son, who would bring peace, healing, and restoration.
