Isa 9:6 says, “For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace” (KJV).

Unto us, for our benefit, for the enlightening of the whole world,  born of a woman, a boy is given by God to us, to redeem us from destruction, and lead us back to Him. The rule of the kingdom shall be in His hand for all times. 

Isaiah was clear about the identity of the child born to us to his very names. Everything about this child is wonderful. He is a counsellor who would communicate His father to the whole world, God with us, our father forever. This child is peace, sent by the King of peace to be the Prince of peace to us. These titles are not just names or attributes but things God placed in Jesus Christ because He knew that we would have need of them to get through this life. Therefore we must have a life in Christ.

Father, with understanding and gratefulness I thank You for Your son. You filled Him with the fullness of Yourself and sent Him to us through the womb of a woman. Thank You Father, God. In the name of Your Son, Jesus, came to save us. Amen.
