Scripture Sentences
(may be read by one person or divided into parts)
The people who walked in darkness have seen a great light;those who lived in a land of deep darkness—on them light has shined.
For a child has been born for us, a son given to us;authority rests upon his shoulders; and he is namedWonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.
His authority shall grow continually, and there shall be endless peace for the throne of David and his kingdom. He will establish and uphold it with justice and with righteousness from this time onwards and for evermore.The zeal of the Lord of hosts will do this.
From Isaiah 9:2, 6-7 (NRSV)
