Who Is This Jesus?
Isaiah 9:6-7 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.
7 Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even for ever. The zeal of the Lord of hosts will perform this.
A child is born:
Even many details of His birth are prophesied…
Matthew 1:21-23 And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name Jesus: for he shall save his people from their sins.
22 Now all this was done, that it might be fulfilled (Is.7:14) which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying,
23 Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us.
Not only the swaddling clothes and so forth; the time in History and the very year of His birth. (I’ve counted the 483 years “since the decree to rebuild Jerusalem…” to find that Jesus was born just in time.)
The government shall be upon His shoulder:
Jesus doesn’t ask the world’s governments for anything at all. We might ask why He doesn’t use them for His glory…
Isaiah 40:15 Behold, the nations are as a drop of a bucket, and are counted as the small dust of the balance: behold, he taketh up the isles as a very little thing.
(note: In the field of metrology, a balance is used to identify or verify the weight or mass of an object as precisely as possible. The tested object is compared to a “standard” of known weight. Dust or other contaminants might distort the result (introducing error), so the equipment is normally kept in a very clean environment. The scripture here reveals that in God’s plans, the schemes and misbehavior of the nations do not impede Him AT ALL.)
Matthew 28:18-20 And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.
19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:
20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen.
Jesus has all power in Heaven and HERE as well!
Matthew 4:16-17 The people which sat in darkness saw great light; and to them which sat in the region and shadow of death light is sprung up.
17 From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say, Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.
Also, Jesus’ Kingdom is very near at hand.
And His name shall be called…
Wonderful: Jesus is the finest man that’s ever lived. He is the greatest prophet, the greatest priest, the greatest king and Jesus is greater than anything else that has been called god.
Counsellor: If you need advice or counsel, Jesus has all wisdom, all knowledge and He’s ALWAYS right! He knows of your problem before you ask Him. He knows what will come tomorrow. He knows YOU in every way.
Mighty God: Jesus made everything that has been made. (John 1:3) Any power that you see, whether natural or supernatural, is actually Jesus’ power. (That’s what “all power” means)
Everlasting Father: Jesus says that “he that hath seen me hath seen the Father”. (John14:9) The works that Jesus does are the Father’s works. (John 5:19) Jesus does ONLY His Father’s will. (John 5:30) ALL of Jesus’ words are the Father’s words. (John 12:49-50) And it will ALWAYS be that way!
Prince of Peace: God the Father sent His beloved Son to change our hearts and bring Peace between us. The word translated “prince” is actually Captain, Ruler or Steward. Jesus is “in charge” of PEACE, and the only way we can have peace with God is if Jesus gives it to us. (John 14:27)
There shall be no end: Jesus authority and power shall NEVER END. Those He saves are saved FOREVER. His counsel to you (if followed) shall benefit you NOW, TOMORROW and FOREVER!!
Judgment and Justice: In the Kingdom of God, the judgment is always correct because Jesus knows the TRUTH of every matter. Justice is always found: you may think that everything has been ruined, but Jesus can make all things GOOD again! And, when Jesus makes it right, it STAYS right forever!
The Zeal of the Lord: Jesus is deeply committed and very excited to perform all of these things! Some poets have said that they wanted to “move heaven and earth”, well, Jesus MADE Heaven and Earth so that He can do ALL these things and MANY more!
Jesus is the name that is above ALL names.
He has wonderful plans for you!
Jesus has made all things ready…
Repent and surrender your life to our Awesome Savior, our most precious friend, our mighty God…
Jesus Christ!
