Jesus Is...

Names are important, and in biblical times, even more so – they had meaning!

700 years before Jesus, God tells the prophet Isaiah about the coming Messiah. He even gives a list of descriptive names in Isaiah 9:6.

For to us a child is born, to us a son is given; and the government shall be upon his shoulder, and his name shall be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. 

As we approach Christmas, the celebration of the birth of Jesus, the Messiah, let’s look closer at these four names – names that have meaning and tell us who Jesus is.
