And the angel said to them, “Fear not, for behold, I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people.
Lesson Five: Jesus helps us to become more triumphant.
Isaiah 9:6-7, For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, the Prince of Peace. Of the greatness of his government and peace there will be no end. He will reign on David’s throne and over his kingdom, establishing and upholding it with justice and righteousness from that time on and forever.
