Our Extraordinary Counselor (3 of 6)
Series: Christmas - Isaiah 9:6
Robert Dawson
Isaiah 9:6
There are so many things that parents go through when they learn they are having a baby. From that moment they step into this colossal roller coaster ride of emotions. There is excitement, joy and even fear. Mom goes through all the physical changes, discomfort and pain while the dad-to-be enjoys getting to eat more without being fussed at while he worries over how he is going to care for and provide for his growing family.
One of the most difficult and important task given to an expecting parent is that of naming a child. Every baby has to have a name. We never want to saddle them with a name they cannot live up to or one they will never live down (Claude Hopper - Joke made concerning himself).
Here in Isaiah 6 we have been promised a child, a son who will do great things:
- Bring hope to the hopeless
- Light to those living in darkness
- Freedom to the captives
- Victory over the enemies
- Peace to the conflict
That is a seemingly impossible task and expectation for a baby. That is why God sent a special child, born of a virgin, to accomplish that most impossible of tasks. He would be a baby as we were, helpless and dependent. While he was humanly like us in every way, fully man, fully human, He was much more. He was God in the flesh - the Eternal Son of Glory.
Even this baby needed a name.
- We know his name, would be Jesus. A remarkable name that speaks of His role as a Savior.
- This baby not only came to be our Savior but a King and every King has a title.
Today as we continue to unwrap this marvelous gift of a Savior that God gave to us that first Christmas we will begin looking at His names and titles.
Isaiah 9.6 - For to us a child is born, to us a son is given; and the government shall be upon his shoulder, and his name shall be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.
That is a lot of name ...
