MS & HS - "Christmas Names"
Isaiah 9:6
We began by talking about our names and the meaning that they have. This is true about all our names, but most importantly about the Christ-child Jesus Christ.
Big Idea: The Christmas names of Jesus bring us joy and peace.
The Christ-child is our…
Wonderful Counselor
- It is not often that we are truly "full of wonder" - God's wisdom should cause us to be full of wonder. He is the best counselor hands down.
- Psalm 32:8
- Proverbs 3:5-6
- 2 Timothy 3:16-17 - God's Word is a treasure trove of wisdom, and He has given it to us!
Mighty God
- This baby is equal with the God of Israel!
- He is distinct from every other baby ever
- Mighty = warrior angel
- God becoming a baby changed everything!
- I read "Mary's 25 Questions" by Max Lucado
Everlasting Father
- His rule follows the Father's pattern of rule
- Jesus claimed that He and His Father were one.
- Father = "Daddy" - Regardless of how your relationship is with your earthly father, you have a Heavenly Father and a Savior who acts as a Father figure in your life.
- Everlasting = This is a Father that will never let us down!
Prince of Peace
- Representative for the King
- Peace = šā·lômʹ - completion, fulfillment, wholeness (restoration of what is broken by the Fall)
- We listed some things that are broken - which pretty much includes everything; most notably relationships - our relationships with other and with God
- It is going to get worse before it gets better
- Jesus is going to "make all sad things untrue".
