Clergyman's Magazine Isaiah 9:1-7 Nevertheless the dimness shall not be such as was in her vexation… I. LIGHT OUT OF DARKNESS. II. JOY BECAUSE OF THE LIGHT. 1. Because Jesus was born. 2. Because in His incarnation God and man were united. 3. Because through His birth "the yoke" of man's burden has been broken (ver. 4), and the power of his oppressor destroyed. III. THE GROUNDS OF THIS JOY (vers. 6, 7). (Clergyman's Magazine.)
