Text:  Isaiah 9:2-7
 "On those dwelling in a land of deep darkness, on them has light shone! ...  For to us a child is born and to us a son is given..."  Talk about good news in dark days!  What brings joy in the midst doom and darkness? The promise of new days ahead - the promise of light and victory - the promise of an end of the darkness...  This is what God has spoken - this is what God has done - and this is what God will do in even greater ways yet to come.
