It's quite apparent then, that this is no ordinary child, nor, even a child prodigy. This is One who is divine, who comes from God, who is God, even the Son of God. This child is God with us, Emmanuel. As to the second, we must invite this One into our lives. The people who walk in darkness have seen a great light.
External peace is wonderful, but falls short, if internally our hearts are in great turmoil.
Those of us who walk in darkness can move beyond darkness to light, and peace, by faith. It is believing in Him, and asking Him to come and grant us His peace, which brings Him into our hearts and experience. For when this child comes He brings counsel, strength, wonder, and peace. He is what we all need. Apart form Him there will be no real peace, only a false sense of security.
