Prince of Peace

As we continue to look at the names of Jesus Christ in (Isa. 9:6), we see that Jesus is also called, "The Everlasting Father, And The Prince of Peace." In the above verse, the use of the definite article "The" means that the title belongs exclusively to Jesus, He is the one and only 1) "Everlasting Father." "Everlasting" in that his fatherhood, unlike our temporal and sinful fathers of our flesh, will be forever and ever. Those of us who are saved have been adopted into his family, and are now joint-heirs with him in his everlasting kingdom. We are now his children who have the right to call him "Aba Father" (Rom. 8:15, or "Our Father." (Ps. 68:5) says that he is a father to the fatherless, and a protector of the widow, for he will receive whosoever; be it the unloved, the needy, the poor, or the sinful, anyone that calls upon him. 2) He is "The Prince of Peace." "Prince," meaning the captain of our peace. All who follow him as captain will find the true peace and forgiveness of God. He's didn't come to bring the type of peace that the world thinks, but rather he came to reconcile man with God, and His peace has no end (Isaiah 9:7).Oh listen, if you want the forgiveness of sin, and an everlasting peace with God, then receive God's free gift this Christmas. Repent and receive Jesus Christ

The Mighty God

As we continue to look at the names of Jesus Christ in (Isa. 9:6), we see that Jesus is not just called Wonderful, but also, "Counselor & The Mighty God." 1) Counselor. It's amazing that in the day in which we live, people will spend great amounts of money on the advice and opinions of educated men, but then reject the free counsel of God. (1 Jn 5: 9) says, "If we receive the witness of men, the witness of God is greater." God in his infinite wisdom has freely given to us, "all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him…" (2 Peter 1:3). Why then is there so much confusion and arguing over things that are specifically stated and commanded by God? Why, simply because we have not fully surrendered to the final authority & council of God's Word. God's Word is not just a book of inspired suggestions, but rather the complete and final say of God. 2) The Mighty God. The world in all its foolishness loves the babe at Christmas but denies the power of the God man Jesus Christ. Why, because a babe is non-threatening, and weak, and easy to be overcome, but a Mighty God is someone they cannot push around. One day he will be seen as he truly is today, The Mighty God, The King of Kings and The Lord of Lord's. Amen!

Jesus' name is truly Wonderful !

(Isa 9:6) "For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful.." Wonderful, there is probably not a better description of what life is now like because of the coming of Jesus Christ to this earth. 1) Jesus was Wonderful in his Birth. Imagine what life would be like without him. God became man, he incarnated a human body and although the flesh of Christ did not exist before Bethlehem, the Son of God did. Wonderful was the prophesy of his virgin birth some 800 years before he came, born to the tribe of Judah and in the line of David. 2) Jesus was Wonderful in his Benevolence. For "unto us a child is born." To us who are unworthy sinners, to us God still sent His Son to save. Jesus came and gave up everything, so that we might inherit all things in him. He came to serve, and to heal, and to give to all men freely his grace and love. 3) Jesus is Wonderful in his Beauty. Oh the beauty of his wonderful free gift of salvation, and the peace and hope that comes along with it, as well as the beauty of his Holy Spirit that indwells within us, and that guides us and keeps us saved. Jesus' name is truly Wonderful !
