MIRACLES IN 2025
Advent Series- 8
Who He Is!
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.
This wonderful verse is used each year as a special message of the coming of the Christ Child. The promise here is of His humanity: a Child is born, and of His divinity, a Son is given.
The Child points to Christ as man, the Redeemer of all men, who came to identify with sinful men who had lost their relationship with God in the Garden of Eden. The Son is given points to Christ as the Son of God, who through the virgin birth brought God to the earth to be the only One who could pay the eternal sin debt that all men owed. So, we see in this verse the God man, Christ Jesus who is the Savior of the world.
Once His work was finished on Calvary’s cross, He was able to take His rightful place; the remainder of the verse shows who He really is and the role He is to fulfill in eternity future. Truly his name shall be called Wonderful Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.
This Christmas let us remember that the babe born in the lowly manger in Bethlehem is truly God Almighty who loves us with an everlasting love.
What a great and wonderful God we serve!
