“For unto us a Child is born, Unto us a Son is given; And the government will be upon His shoulder. And His name will be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.” As we draw close to the time we celebrate the birth of Christ I want to make sure that we are worshiping Him. As I attempt to magnify Christ today I want to take these words from Isaiah and share what an incredibly awesome God we serve. Please celebrate and worship Him with me.
1. Jesus is to be called Wonderful! How many of you with a shout will say that you believe Jesus is wonderful? The main reason I believe that Jesus is wonderful is this: Psalm 40:1‑3 (NKJV) “I waited patiently for the LORD; And He inclined to me, And heard my cry. He also brought me up out of a horrible pit, Out of the miry clay, And set my feet upon a rock, And established my steps. He has put a new song in my mouth.”
He is wonderful because He listened to my cry. He is wonderful because He brought me out of a horrible pit!
2. Jesus is to be called Counselor! Isaiah 41:28 (NKJV) “For I looked, and there was no man; I looked among them, but there was no counselor, Who, when I asked of them, could answer a word.” John 15:26 (NIV) "When the Counselor comes, whom I will send to you from the Father, the Spirit of truth who goes out from the Father, he will testify about me.” When you have problems...before you run to everyone else...run to Jesus...run to Holy Spirit...Run to your divine Counselor...He is the Spirit of Truth!
3. Jesus is to be called Mighty God!
–Unto us a child is born...unto us a Son is born...and the government shall be upon His shoulder. Who else can handle the govt. being on His shoulder other than the mighty God...Jesus Christ! Jeremiah 32:18 (NKJV) “You show lovingkindness to thousands, and repay the iniquity of the fathers into the bosom of their children after them‑‑the Great, the Mighty God, whose name is the LORD of hosts.”
4. Jesus is to be called Eternal Father! “Maybe some of you did not have a good example of a father or maybe you did not have a father at all. This God child has been born so that gap in your life can be filled.
Psalm 68:5 (NIV) “A father to the fatherless, a defender of widows, is God in his holy dwelling.”
5. Jesus is to be called Prince of Peace! Pastor Rick, I have anything but peace today. Run to the Prince of Peace! Psalm 29:10‑11 (NKJV) “The LORD sat enthroned at the Flood, And the LORD sits as King forever.
The LORD will give strength to His people; The LORD will bless His people with peace.” Worship Him!
