Isaiah 9:6, For unto us a Child is born, unto us a Son is given; and the government will be upon His shoulder. And His name will be called Wonderful. Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.

 

The birth of the Messiah, Jesus Christ, would be prophetically spoken of by the prophets.  Isaiah would speak of five names that would describe Him as Messiah. Wonderful describes Him as a supernatural wonder, showing His character by His deeds and miracles.  He never did anything through human works. Counsellor describes Him as having perfect wisdom and words that brought eternal life. Mighty God tells us the Messiah was the fullness of God in human form. Everlasting Father not only reveals the Heavenly Father to us but shows how He Himself would act toward those who follow Him; He would be a father who protects and loves and supplies their needs. Prince of Peace describes the peace that would come with obedience to God’s plan when delivered from sin and death. This was taken from the notes in the Life in the Spirit Study Bible.

 

My prayer for each of you for this Christmas season is a greater hunger and a greater thirst for the righteousness of this Messiah.  I pray you have a very Merry Christmas in 2021.  No one knows what 2022 will bring but we do know who holds it in the palm of His hand. Trust in Him. Seek Him diligently and you will not be disappointed.

 

In yesterday’s blog, I mistakenly mentioned 2021 might be the year the Lord returns for His church. I wanted to say 2022.  I just wanted to clarify that.

 

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!
