Is this true that unto to us a
Child is born, and unto us a Son is given?
If we accept this gift of salvation
then we too are reborn, and we are given to the Son. To give Him honor and
glory all the days of our lives should be our
Isaiah 9:6 declares: For
unto us a child is born, for unto us a son is given, and the government will 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
At this time of year, let’s remember
who to focus on – Jesus, and to focus on - our relationship with Him. Amen?
