Praise the name of Jesus.
He’s my Rock, He’s my Fortress,

In Him shall I trust.
Praise the name of Jesus!
 
There are a lot of great names in the Bible. The prophet Isaiah gives a detailed description of the names of the Messiah, Jesus Christ, who was yet to come in his day. This devotion will explore the names of our LORD & SAVIOR listed in the book of Isaiah.
 

1. His name shall be called WONDERFUL!

“For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.” (I(saiah 9:6)

The word “Wonderful” is פֶּלֶא – pele, which means Unusual, Extraordinary.

Certainly Jesus is extraordinary in His Words, His Works, and His Will! Extraordinary in His overcoming death, disease, and demons!!
 

2. His name shall be called COUNSELLOR!

“For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.” (Isa 9:6)

The word “Counsellor” is יָעַץ – yāʿaṣ, which means advice, counsel.

Who else can foretell the future with 100 % precision? Jesus can.
Who else sees the beginning and the end and everything in between? Jesus does.
Who else created the human anatomy of man and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life? Jesus did.
Therefore, since He knows us, it stands to reason He knows how to fix us!
 

3. His name shall be called MIGHTY GOD!

“For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.” (Isa 9:6)

The word “God” is אֵל – ‘ēl which means HERO!
Jesus is my HERO!! Is He yours?
 

4. His name shall be called EVERLASTING FATHER!

“For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.” (Isa 9:6)

Since He is our Everlasting Father, we can depend upon Him. He will not let us down. Trust Him now.
 

5. His name shall be called PRINCE of PEACE!

“For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.” (Isa 9:6)

The word “Prince” is שַׂר- śar, which means chief ruler.

The word “Peace” is שָׁלוֹם – šālôm, which can mean peace from war, or completeness, soundness.

Praise the Lord, we are no longer at war with God once we surrender to the Lordship of Jesus Christ.
 
Conclusion:
 
The name of Jesus is *POWERFUL! *INEXHAUSTIBLE!
 
* SPECIAL!
* HONORABLE!
* BOUNTIFUL!
