Isaiah 9:6 prophesied, “Unto us a Child is born, unto us a Son is given....” The Child born is the Babe of Bethlehem, and the Son given is the everlasting Jesus.

But Isaiah was written 700 years before Jesus Christ was born. Therefore, in the New Testament it’s no surprise to see God the Spirit, God the Father, and God the Son coming together in this wonderful Christmas story.
