Title: Mighty God (2 of 4)
Series: He Shall Be Called
Author: Jim Perdue

"Everlasting Father" - This king's reign will never end, but what's more incredible is how He will rule. He is our father. In other words, He's not going to rule by demanding subservience; rather He will rule as a loving and caring father.
"Prince of Peace" - This is one of Jesus' main names because it's what He came to do, bring peace. This peace isn't just peace on earth, but also peace between us and God. This ki ...
