Scripture: Isaiah 7: 10-16, Matthew 1: 18-25

We continue to hear from the prophecies in Isaiah on this fourth Sunday of Advent. God rolls God’s eyes at Ahaz because of Ahaz’s reluctance to listen to God. And God sends a token that Ahaz doesn’t really want and at the time seems a bit underwhelming. But as Matthew’s gospel takes up this prophecy we see that it is the oracle of the birth of Jesus, God becoming flesh in the womb of Mary.
