Why Was Jesus Born?

Summary

The sermon explores Isaiah's prophetic passage about Jesus Christ as the "perfect gift" from God, emphasizing Christ's unique dual nature as both fully human and fully divine. The key scripture, Isaiah 9:6, highlights Jesus as a child born to humanity and a son given by God, who came to live a sinless life in humanity's place and provide salvation through grace. The practical takeaway is that Jesus is the ultimate gift - usable, surprising, and from the heart - who offers redemption by living the life humans cannot and paying the penalty for sin.
