The Everlasting Father

In Isaiah 9:6, the Lord is called the Everlasting Father. This name is perhaps the most mysterious and puzzling of the four titles that are accorded our blessed Lord in this remarkable prophecy of Isaiah. As C.H. Spurgeon remarks, "How complex is the person of our Lord Jesus Christ! Almost in the same breath the prophet calls Him a Child, a Son, a Counselor, and a Father." The more we look into this title, the greater becomes the unfolding of divine truth concerning this glorious Savior of mankind. This title is designed to describe a glorious aspect of ministry of the Lord Jesus which is well supported throughout the rest of Scripture. This Sunday we will look into this wonderful name and how Jesus' ministry affects us personally!
