Isaiah 9:6 declares: For unto us a
child is born, for unto us a son is given, and the governmentwill be on his
shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor,
Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince
of Peace.
The characteristics and attributes of
Jesus are described here with two word titles:
Wonderful
Counselor - The Spirit of the Lord
will rest on him— the Spirit of wisdom and of understanding, the Spirit of counsel and of might, the Spirit of the knowledge and fear of the Lord— Isaiah 11:2
Mighty God - and he will delight in the fear of the Lord.
He will not judge by
what he sees with his eyes, or decide by what he hears with his ears;
but with righteousness he
will judge the needy, with justice he will give decisions for the poor of
the earth. He will strike the earth with the rod of his mouth;
with the breath of
his lips he will slay the wicked. Isaiah 11:3-4
Everlasting
Father - Jesus answered: “Don’t you
know me, Philip, even after I have been among you such a long time? Anyone who
has seen me has seen the Father. How can you say, ‘Show us the Father’?
Don’t you believe that I
am in the Father, and that the Father is in me? The words I say to you I do not
speak on my own authority. Rather, it is the Father, living in me, who is doing
his work. John 14:9-10
Prince
of Peace - “Glory to God in the highest heaven,
and on earth peace to those on whom his favor rests.” Luke 2:14
