Many people have no idea who Jesus truly is. The prophecy of Isaiah leaves us no doubt as to the identity of the baby born in Bethlehem.
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, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.
Jesus is Wonderful, far beyond our level of comprehension, yet He can be known by a little child. He is Wonderful in His Words, His Works and His Ways.
He is our Counselor, the leader and guiding force of our lives, Psalm 37:23; Rom. 8:28.
.
Mighty God means “Hero”. He alone is worthy to be our Hero for He has defeated all our enemies—death, sin, satan, the grave and eternity (Hell).
He is our Everlasting Father—The Alpha and Omega, the Great I AM. He fulfills His role as our Father by loving us, supporting us, sustaining us, comforting us and providing for us.
As our Prince of Peace, He will rule His kingdom in peace, because He is the creator and provider of peace. Those who know Him know all about peace, John 14:27; John 16:33a; Phil. 4:7.
We call Him by many names. In the end He is God, He is Lord and He is Saviour. Do you know Him?
