In a passage many look at in December, we looked at Isaiah chapter 9 and it's broader context.
"The people who walk in darkness
Will see a great light;
Those who live in a dark land,
The light will shine on them."
We know that our world had a great light appear when Jesus came. In Isaiah's prophecy he describes, Jesus with 4 amazing titles which are worth another look:
Wonderful Counselor
Don't we all want someone wonderful to care for us? That's what Jesus is for us.
Mighty God
We often refer to God as "Almighty." Isn't it great that our God is strong and not merely sitting on a shelf?
Everlasting Father
He is forever. He's never off the job. Jesus serves us in ways much like a father. He wants what is best for us. He also said, that "I and the Father are one." (And remember that the term God belongs to more than just the Father...but to all three!)
Prince of Peace
The Gospel is about peace. The fruit of righteousness is peace. Peace is from God and Jesus is the one who can really bring it.
He is our light in the darkness!
