Isaiah 9: 6-7
For unto us a child is born, unto us a Son is given: and the government
shall be upon his shoulders: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counseller,
The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.
The prophet Isaiah was foretelling of a time in the future encouraging
the people of his day not to get discouraged because the promised Savior was
coming just as promised by God. This scripture coincide with Isaiah 7:14 as the
prophet provides details of Jesus' birth and the unique way in which He would
be born.
Isaiah's descriptive name of Christ characterizes the functions of the
Messiah. The name "Wonderful" symbolizes the miraculous works or
supernatural wonders He would perform, such as miracles He would perform. The
name "Counseller" represents the incarnation of perfect wisdom as He
provided the perfect plan of salvation. The name "Mighty God"
embodies the full deity of God as He was God in the flesh. The name 'The
Everlasting Father" means that Christ would reveal His heavenly Father and
He Himself would have compassion on all mankind as a compassionate father that
loves all His children. Lastly, the name "Prince of Peace" means that
Christ would bring the peace of God to all humanity through mankind's deliverance
from sin. Christ is the man of peace.
A Savior was promised, a promise kept God--Jesus Christ is the promised
Messiah. Accept Him!
