His Name

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.

One of our articles this month is taken from this very verse – the Real Stories column on the ENCOURAGEMENT page – read it if you have time!

I love these four names given to Jesus because they encompass his character and the fact that he meets every need we have throughout our lives.  What a great gift we have been given!

When we are confused and need direction, or wisdom for life, he’s our wonderful counselor.

When we need miracles and the ability to slay giants that taunt us, he is our mighty God.

When life on earth is cut short for someone we love, we have hope because he’s everlasting!

When turmoil is all around, and we’re in the middle of the storm, he’s the Prince of Peace!

We need no one and nothing else but Jesus.  And we can call on his name any time, day or night, and he’s there beside us to illuminate our path and lead us out of darkness into his light.
