And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.

Isaiah 9:6

Who is this?  It is Jesus, my Jesus and yours. Praise God that we are his! 

The promise astounds us but it is truer than any other truth, if we may use that phrase.  Jesus is no less than this – Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.  Isaiah saw this as a prophet of God hundreds of years before Jesus was born among us.

Now we live in the reality of the wonderful saving work of God, salvation purchased by the sacrificial death and resurrection of Jesus. All of us who have received Jesus into our hearts discover that He is more than we ever imagined.  Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.  Jesus is like a huge ocean of grace, full to the brim.  We live by drinking of that living water every day.  What a God!  What a Savior.
