The Wonderful Counselor - 12.1.19
Dec 1, 2019 • Zeb Cook
Summary: Isaiah wrote 800 years before Jesus came to remind the Israelites that the Messiah was coming and He would start His Kingdom. Hope was desperately needed as the Assyrians were conquering the land and taking captives. Isaiah offers hope by describing the Messiah. One title given to the Messiah was "Wonderful Counselor." The word "Wonderful" means so good that it is beyond understanding or incomprehensible. The word "Counselor" is a wise and trusted ruler. Jesus demonstrates this wonderful-ness by showing compassion, teaching with authority, living a perfect life, and much more.
Isaiah 9:6
Hebrews 4:15-16
Proverbs 2:6
