Mighty God

Isaiah 9:6 “And His name will be called . . . Mighty God, Everlasting Father.”

It sounds incredible that a beautiful little baby, born in a manger in Bethlehem, was God Almighty. Jesus was fully God and fully man. God came to this earth and walked among us. Jesus became one of us without ceasing to be Himself. He became human without ceasing to be God. And Isaiah 9:6 tells us that He is the Mighty God. He has all the power that you need to take care of the demands of life. Whatever you are facing, whatever challenge or difficulty you are going through, the Almighty God has taken residence in your heart if you have given your life to Jesus Christ. In addition, Isaiah calls him Everlasting Father. This brings hope and encouragement to those who grew up without a father or who maybe had a harsh, abusive father. We have a Father in Heaven who loves us. Because Jesus died on the cross and rose from the dead, we can now call God our Father if we have put our faith in Jesus Christ. Not only is God our Father, but He is our Everlasting Father. That means He is not only our Father on Earth, but He also will receive us into Heaven one day. All these started with the birth of Jesus Christ, God with us (Emmanuel)!
