“When they saw the star, they rejoiced exceedingly with great joy” (Matthew 2:10 ESV). Finally, the prophecy from Isaiah 9:6 had been fulfilled.  “For a child is born to us, a son is given to us.  The government will rest on his shoulders.  And he will be called:  Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace” (NLT).
