For unto us
a child is born;
unto us a son is given;
and the government shall
be upon his
shoulders.
These shall be
his royal
titles:
"Wonderful,
Counselor,"
"The Mighty God,"
"The Everlasting
Father,"
"The Prince of Peace."
Is 9:6
The word "wonderful"
means to excite amazement, wonder and admiration. Our Jesus makes our life wonderful. In ancient Israel a Counselor was portrayed as a wise king, such as Solomon giving guidance to his people. In whom are
hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge. Col 2:3.
"The
Mighty God" the one with the unlimited power. The unlimited power that lives within
you. I can do all things through Christ
who strengthens me. Phil 4:13.
"Everlasting" means to continue forever. How comforting to know
that our God, our Jesus and the Holy Ghost will be with us forever.
"The
Prince of Peace" is the spiritual harmony that was brought to us by reiteration with God. We have been restored to the Kingdom of God by this
little babe born over 2000 years ago. We have the peace of God that passes
all understanding living within us. Phil. 4:7
What a great and marvelous gift we have been given.
These four
names Wonderful Counselor, The Mighty God, The Everlasting Father and The
Prince of Peace describe our Jesus, our Messiah.

My prayer is that all the feelings of love and support we have felt during this season will be a part of all we are and all we do everyday of the coming months.
