"For to us a child is born,
to us a son is given,
and the government will be on his shoulders.
And he will be called
Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God,
Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace."
(Isaiah 9: 6, NIV)
Sue. Bill. Jack. Jill. What's in a name? In Biblical times, a name meant everything. It represented something. It stood for who you were. Jesus was not only "Jesus", but He was referred to by many other names. If your life is in turmoil, He brings you peace. If you have nagging questions, He gives you counsel. If you need a Daddy, He'll be your Father---forever!
Today's scripture is often heard quoted at Christmas time, but it applies throughout the year. Whatever your need may be, just call upon the name of the Lord. His name will be that for you! Jesus---name above all names! Watch the video below as it shares more names with you:
