An amazing promise, part 3


Isaiah 9:6-7
...
6 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,
...
"Wonderful Counselor" is literally "wonder of a counselor". His counsel goes beyond any man's wisdom. Jesus' comfort and counsel for us meets the need of the heart. His love draws us to him. As Jesus said, "I have not come to judge, but to save." Salvation means God's full intent to restore and repair the heart and life of each one of us. Need someone to talk to who really understands? He has lived our lives. He knows what we go through. He cares. He can help. Talk to Jesus. He is a wonderful counselor.
