A Gift.
“For a child has been born – for us! The gift of a son – for us! He’ll take over the running of the world. His names will be: Amazing Counselor, Strong God, Eternal Father, Prince of Wholeness. His ruling authority will grow, and there’ll be no limits to the wholeness he brings.” -Isaiah 9
This is Jesus: inseparable from the Father. Amazing Counselor meaning the One who can guide us. Strong God meaning He is all power. Eternal Father - He is without end, for all time. Prince of Wholeness meaning He, and only He will complete us - make us whole in Him. There’ll be no limits to the wholeness He brings. This is the gift we have been given. Will we receive Him?
“Man finds it hard to get what he wants, because he does not want the best; God finds it hard to give, because He would give the best, and man will not take it.” -George MacDonald.
