The Light Has Come: Responding to Immanuel // Isaiah 9:1-7 // Bonus Episode

Dec 18, 2025

What if Christmas is less about a warm fuzzy feeling than it is about taking up your cross?

In this week’s bonus episode of the Know God Deeply podcast, David Arthur and friends unpack Isaiah’s prophecy about Jesus, the Light of the World—and its surprising fulfillment in the Gospel of Matthew.

Tune in and join David, Adam, Christina, and Corina as they discuss…

  • What the contrasts in Isaiah 9:1-7 teach us about God’s salvation plan
  • Why repentance is the right response to God’s work through Jesus
  • How Jesus fulfills Isaiah’s prophecy—and the role we play in God’s kingdom today
