Several hundred years before Jesus was born, God gave Isaiah a prophecy regarding the birth of the Savior.
Isaiah 9:6 says, “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 our Wonderful Counselor, Jesus is able to see and understand our needs and give us perfect answers to our problems. As Mighty God, Jesus has the power to solve our problems. As Everlasting Father, Jesus gives us tender care, protection, and comfort in the midst of our struggles. As the Prince of Peace, He provides peace as we rely upon His sovereignty.
