Four Titles  

For unto us a Child is born,

Unto us a Son is given . . .

Isaiah 9:6

Today's Bible Reading: Isaiah 9:6-7.

Throughout the Bible, over 200 names are given for Christ. Some are titles for Jesus, while others are concepts or descriptions of Him. The message and meaning of Christmas is spelt out in Isaiah 9:6. For unto us a Child is born, Unto us a Son is given; And the government will be upon His shoulder. And His name will be called Wonderful, Counsellor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. In that one verse, the Prophet Isaiah gives four names or titles of our Lord that encourage us, thrill us, and fill us with hope:

Wonderful Counsellor: “If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him.” (James 1:5).

Mighty God: But Jesus looked at them and said to them, “With men this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.” (Matthew 19:26).

Everlasting Father: "Yet for us there is one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we for Him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, through whom are all things, and through whom we live. (1 Corinthians 8:6).

Prince of Peace: For it pleased the Father that in Him all the fullness should dwell, and by Him to reconcile all things to Himself, by Him, whether things on earth or things in heaven, having made peace through the blood of His cross." (Colossians 1:19-20).

The full meaning of these words from Isaiah should give us enough strength, hope, and joy to face any crisis, to endure any sorrow, and to meet any temptation.

How is God revealing Himself to you today?

Prayer:My God and Father, You are El Roi—the God who sees. Help me to see You today and every day. I pray this Christmas that You will reveal Yourself to me in new and amazing ways. In Jesus name. Amen.
