He Will Be Called

Seven hundred years before Jesus’ birth, the prophet Isaiah announced that the names Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, and Prince of Peace would characterize God’s Messiah and Rescuer. While this promise seemed far removed in a day when the people of Israel were facing massive and complex challenges, God’s promise to step into our world was fulfilled in Jesus. While we still have complex challenges in our personal lives and modern world, we can continue to have hope and confidence knowing that we have a Savior and Rescuer who is the fulfillment of these 2,700 year-old name-characterizations of God.
