1. A light from Zebulun and Naphtali (1-5)

God's people suffered through many dark and distressing times. Among the people of Israel, the Northern kingdom, which included the land of the tribes of Zebulun and Naphtali, may have suffered the most. But God humbles his people so he may raise them up. Through Isaiah, God promised to bring a great light, freeing them from their oppressors and bringing peace and joy. This corresponds to the spiritual blessings we receive in Christ.

2. The Prince of Peace (6-7)

God revealed through Isaiah that the great light would be a child who would come and rule over God's people eternally. Of course, this is Jesus Christ, whose hometown was in Galilee, the land of Zebulun and Naphtali. Christ can be everything to us-our Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, and Prince of Peace. We are greatly comforted because his kingdom will never end.
