He Will Be Called

Isaiah 9:6 NIV
6 For to us a child is born,

to us a son is given,

and the government will be on his shoulders.

And he will be called

Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God,

Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.

At the center of this Christmas season is the one from whom its name is derived: Christ.  A son is given and he is the very son of God!

Notice the names he is given in this passage from Isaiah.

Wonderful Counselor        A designation often used to refer to the Holy Spirit
Mighty God                        A common Old Testament title
Everlasting Father            A New Testament Title
Prince of Peace                  Jesus Christ

Here we see not only a prophesy of the the coming Son, but a revelation of the Triune God.
