"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." (Isaiah 9:6 NKJV)The message shared by the pastor in this Christmas is centered around who Jesus is. He is called:
1. Wonderful; as demonstrated by His power.
"One day Jesus cast out a demon from a man who couldn't speak, and when the demon was fone, the man began to speak. The crowds were amazed." (Luke 11:14 NLT)
2. Counselor; where He speaks with authority.
""We have never heard anyone speak like this!" the guards responded." (John 7:46 NLT)
3. The Mighty God.
"The Father and I are one."" (John 10.:30 NLT)
4. The Everlasting Father.
"In the beginning the Word already existed. The Word was with God, and the Word was God. He existed in the beginning with God. God created everything through him, and nothing was created except through him." (John 1:1-3 NLT)
and
5. The Prince of Peace; He brings peace to each of us.
"and through him God reconciled everything to himself. He made peace with everything in heaven and on earth by means of Christ's blood on the cross." (Colossians 1:20 NLT)
Let us not forget the ultimate purpose of Christmas celebration; remembering who Jesus is.
