Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace

Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace

Isaiah 9:6-7

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.





Of the increase of His government and peace
There will be no end,

Upon the throne of David and over His kingdom,

To order it and establish it with judgment and justice
From that time forward, even forever.
The zeal of the Lord of hosts will perform this.


~~~Reflections~~~

The Birth of Jesus had been foretold centuries before He was born.
You can find many of the old testament prophets having proclaimed his arrival.
The Messiah is often represented as having been given, or sent.
Some think of the Messiah as a rich gift from God.
Truth is Jesus was an unselfish Gift of Love.
Man had no claim on him.
God unselfishly gave his Son to be a sacrifice for the sins of the world.

John 3:16  For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son,
that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.
