Who Is He? (Isaiah 9:6-7)

Isaiah’s name means “the salvation of Jehovah.” He was the Prophet who received and prophesied the visions God gave him concerning the coming Messiah. The days in which he lived were dark, and the Nation of Israel was in sinful rebellion of God. Yet, the Prophet spoke of a future day of hope and deliverance from God. He declared the magnificent titles of our coming King: “He will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.” Today, we celebrate and know Him as King Jesus.

Isaiah prophesied that the Mighty God would be born as a special Child, conceived by a virgin. God became Man – (Immanuel), He was and will always be fully God yet fully Man! (Isaiah 7:14; Matthew 1:21-23)

King Jesus is the Messiah that Isaiah prophesied about. This Immanuel possesses dominion, power, and sovereignty, with royal authority that lasts for all eternity. (Matthew 28:18)

As Wonderful Counselor, King Jesus is portrayed as the Great One who shares a deep, loving relationship with His people. He is always available, offering perfect wisdom 24/7. He provides flawless counsel and ensures complete confidentiality in every session. For His faithful followers, He is our Wonderful Counselor. (1 John 3:1-3).

King Jesus is Mighty God, revealed throughout Scripture exercising His divine power, wisdom, and omnipresence. (Genesis 1:1; Job 38; 39; 40; John 1:1-5; 1 Timothy 1:17; Revelation 1:11-18)

Jesus, as Everlasting Father, is the eternal Protector and Provider of His people Israel and all who are grafted in. (Psalms 121; Romans 11:11-36)

Jesus is the Prince of Peace. While this passage speaks of a future peace for Israel, believers today understand that Jesus doesn’t just give us peace; He gives us Himself. Through faith in the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ, believers have peace with God. Jesus offers peace – a peace that surpasses all understanding. (Isaiah 26:3-4; John 14:23-27; Romans 5:1-11).

He is the Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.
