HIS NAME SHALL BE CALLED

Scripture: Isaiah 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, Counselor, The Mighty God, The Everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.”

     This prophetic verse from Isaiah gives us the life of the Lord Jesus in three points. Then lists five different descriptive names that He is called that describes who He is and what He does.
     The names that He is called tells us so much about His person. The first name is Wonderful! We see that He is wonderful in His creation, He is wonderful in His crucifixion and He is wonderful in His coming again! What a Savior!
     He is called Counselor. A counselor is one who you can talk to with your problems and they will help give you guidance about what you need to do. Jesus is our Counselor! We call upon Him and He hears and answers our prayers. We bring our needs to Him, big and small, and He tells us what to do about them.
     Then He shall be called “The Mighty God”. He was more than just the “Son of God”, He was and is “God”! In the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God and the Word was God. What a Mighty God we serve in the person of the Lord Jesus Christ!
     He is described as being “The Everlasting Father”. Another reference to His Deity, but also of His relationship with His children. Children have a relationship with a father by virtue of a birth. Thank God we have a relationship with the Father by the new birth.
     Then He is called “The Prince of Peace”. As the Prince of Peace, He is come to bring peace to this world. He does so by our repentance of sin, and receiving of Christ into our hearts. When He comes in He brings peace where sin had brought turmoil! Friend you will know no peace in this old world until you meet the Prince of Peace, the Lord Jesus Christ! Do you know Him today?
