‘For unto us a Child is born, Unto us a Son is given; And the government will be upon His shoulder. And His name will be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.’
Isaiah 9:6
NOTES:
- We all desperately desire the love of a good father
- Missing fathers have devastated society - high percentages of adolescent suicide, substance abuse, mental patients and rapists come from fatherless homes; especially young boys suffer from fatherlessness
- Jesus’ prophetic description is not only a child, but a father
- Earthly fathers either “fall off the horse” one way or the other - either they are “all truth”/harsh, disciplinarian or “all grace”/no discipline, all love; Jesus strikes the perfect balance
- And Jesus is “Everlasting”
