We chatted for awhile about government, laws, and politics. Interestingly, this is the 2nd invitation I&#8217;ve had from 3rd graders in 2 weeks. Might it be that I&#8217;m more comfortable on their level?<br \/>At one moment I thought I was with much older students. I asked a question, &#8220;what does the bible say about government?&#8221; A young lad answered &#8220;the government will be on his shoulders.&#8221; I was very impressed with this answer.  He is referring to the Old Testament author, Isaiah, as he is prophesying the incarnation. This bible passage is also found in Handel&#8217;s Messiah.<br \/>Isaiah 9:6 &#8211; For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be on his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counselor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.<br \/>What a great reminder that Jesus is the King of Kings and the \u201cReason for the Season\u201d.
