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 !
