He is a Wonderful Savior to Me

Isaiah 9:6 ESV

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.

God showed Isaiah about 700 years the coming of the Baby Jesus and he saw several things, but lets look at three of them:

• He saw a CRIB – “unto us a child is born”

• He saw a CROSS – “to us a Son is given”

• He saw a CROWN – “and the government shall be upon His shoulder”

But the question for us this morning, why did Isaiah call Jesus WONDERFUL?
