Hi kids! Christmas is just a few weeks away—how exciting! What toys are on your wish list this year? Maybe you asked for a new bike, a Lego set or a doll. We are privileged to live in places where we are able to ask for gifts like these at Christmas. Some people around the world are still in great need of the basic necessities, such as food.

A
long time ago, the nation of Judah felt powerless. As their enemies grew strong around them, they thought God had forgotten about them. They lived in fear that a bad king might rule over them one day and treat them poorly. They wanted a good king. God sent His prophet, Isaiah, to tell the people of Judah that the best king of all was going to be born one day for them. He would be unlike any other king that had ever reigned on earth. The king Isaiah was speaking about was none other than God’s own Son, Jesus Christ. So, how does this prophecy bring hope to us today? Because we can see that God keeps His promises. How do we know this? Because the Bible tells us that Jesus came to earth (see Luke 2:11).
