Series: Glorious Titles of Our Savior

This title, Prince of Peace,” is likely the most familiar of the four titles given to us in Isaiah 9:6. Jesus alone can give us true peace in our souls because He alone can give us purpose and meaning in life. And Christ alone can give peace to the nations of the world that find true peace so elusive. Our Savior was clear in saying that He is the one who is “the way, the truth, and the life; no man comes to the Father except through Me.” He alone can give us eternal peace and joy that the peoples of this world seek for but can never find except in the Prince of Peace.

When the Holy Spirit moves upon Isaiah to call the coming Messiah “Everlasting Father,” we’re a bit shocked. Why does Scripture use this title of the Second Person of the Trinity, who is often called the Son of God? What does it mean when Jesus said, “I and the Father are one?” In this sermon, learn about what’s in the Name, and does this title actually fit Jesus of Nazareth, and what does it all mean for our walk with Christ day by day?

How is it that the “Babe of Bethlehem” is also the “Mighty God,” Creator and Sustainer of the universe? How is Jesus both God and the God-man? In fact, His favorite name for Himself was “Son of Man.” How can He be both Mary’s son and the “Lord of Glory?” There is no better time to explore the wonders and implications of “Immanuel” – God in human flesh – than during the Advent season.

In Isaiah 9:6 we find four unique names or titles for God’s Messiah, who would redeem His people from their sins. The first of these is “Wonderful Counselor.” This title refers to both the wonder of His person and the embodiment of the wisdom of the ages in Christ, the King of the nations before whom every knee shall bow. Jesus is indeed the “wisdom of God.” 1 Cor.1:24. Find out how Jesus, as “Wonderful Counselor,” is to impact our daily life, providing the wisdom we so desperately need.
