#1 Wonderful Counselor
“I find that doing of the will of God leaves me no time for disputing about His plans.” George MacDonald
Jesus as Emmanuel will be a Wonderful Counselor! Why study these names? Because there’s no better time than Christmas to consider why Jesus was born. Why God the Father sent His only Son and why it was necessary for God to become a man. These names help us understand the purpose behind the Incarnation. Even more than that, they help us relate to God. They teach us, not just what the prophecy about the Messiah meant to the ancient Israelites, but also what He means to us today. They help us to know Christ better so that we can have a true celebration of Him. We also study these names simply because it’s encouraging.
Listen to them again: "Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace." Meditating on the character of God renews and strengthens our faith; it reminds us of how great and awesome our God is. This is a gift for our life – a promise for our family – reason for joy in worship and food for the soul. You must not miss the first meal of this Biblical feast -
