“His name shall be called Wonderful,
Counselor, The mighty God,
The everlasting Father,
The Prince of Peace."
Isa. 9:6
6
For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. (Isaiah 9:6)
H. E. Hayhoe
THE PERSON of the Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of God, is beyond the comprehension of the human mind. He Himself said,
"No man knoweth the Son, but the Father; neither knoweth any man the Father, save the Son, and he to whomsoever the Son will reveal Him."
Matt. 11:27
27
All things are delivered unto me of my Father: and no man knoweth the Son, but the Father; neither knoweth any man the Father, save the Son, and he to whomsoever the Son will reveal him. (Matthew 11:27)
. The Son has revealed the Father, but NO MAN knows the Son. His Person is a divine mystery.
He was David's son as born in Bethlehem, but He was at the same time David's Lord in the glory of His Person (
Matt. 22:41-46
41
While the Pharisees were gathered together, Jesus asked them,
42
Saying, What think ye of Christ? whose son is he? They say unto him, The Son of David.
43
He saith unto them, How then doth David in spirit call him Lord, saying,
44
The Lord said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, till I make thine enemies thy footstool?
45
If David then call him Lord, how is he his son?
46
And no man was able to answer him a word, neither durst any man from that day forth ask him any more questions. (Matthew 22:41‑46)
).
Though equal with God, He took the place of a servant—wondrous grace (
Phil. 2:6, 7
6
Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God:
7
But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men: (Philippians 2:6‑7)
). He took a life capable of death, though not subject to death (
Heb. 2:9
9
But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honor; that he by the grace of God should taste death for every man. (Hebrews 2:9)
). No man took His life from Him (
John 10:18
18
No man taketh it from me, but I lay it down of myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. This commandment have I received of my Father. (John 10:18)
). He had the power to give life (
John 10:28
28
And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand. (John 10:28)
). In His blessed manhood He was at the same time "over all, God blessed forever. Amen."
Rom. 9:5
5
Whose are the fathers, and of whom as concerning the flesh Christ came, who is over all, God blessed for ever. Amen. (Romans 9:5)
. "In Him dwelleth all the fullness of the Godhead BODILY."
Col. 2:9
9
For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily. (Colossians 2:9)
.
He is addressed by the Father as God:
"Unto the Son He saith, Thy throne, O God, is forever and ever."
Heb. 1:8
8
But unto the Son he saith, Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: a sceptre of righteousness is the sceptre of thy kingdom. (Hebrews 1:8)
