Isaiah 7:14 and Isaiah 9:6
( Isaiah 7:14 and Isaiah 9:6 )
These passages of the prophet speak about Jesus 750 years or so before Jesus was born
– an indication of the inspiration of the scriptures.
The two verses teach about the uniqueness of Jesus:
1: JESUS WAS A UNIQUE CHILD ( Isaiah 9:6 )
“For unto us a child is born”
Unique because of the manner of his birth:
“A virgin shall conceive” ( Isaiah 7:14 )
( Matt 1:23 ) ( Luke 1:27 ) ( Luke 1:34 ) ( Gen 3:15 )
Why a Virgin Birth?
Could not have been our sinless saviour without it.
Sin comes through the Father’s line. ( Rom 5:12 ) ( Rom 5:19 )
What prevented the baby being contaminated with his mother’s sin?
The overshadowing of the Holy Spirit. ( Luke 1:35 )
What was the result of the virgin birth and the protection of the Spirit of God?
A Sinless Saviour.
( Isa 53:9 ) ( 1 Peter 2:22 ) ( 2 Cor 5:21 ) ( Heb 4:15 ) ( 1 John 3:5 ) ( John 19:4 )
2: JESUS WAS A UNIQUE GIFT ( Isaiah 9:6 )
“Unto us a Son is GIVEN”
Jesus is spoken of throughout the Bible as being God’s Given Gift
( John 3:16 ) ( John 4:10 ) ( Rom 6:23 ) ( 2 Cor 9:15 )
3: JESUS WAS A UNIQUE SON ( Isaiah 9:6 )
Only one Son of God – Only one Jesus Christ.
Christians are called sons of God – but only One Son of God
– John 3:16 “ONLY BEGOTTEN” Matthew 3:17
