| He, our Lord Jesus Christ, is “the Lord of hosts … wonderful in counsel, and excellent in working.” He is wonderful, and so is His Word. “Thy testimonies are wonderful: therefore doth my soul keep them.” And “many, O Lord my God, are Thy wonderful works which Thou hast done, and Thy thoughts which are to usward.” He is the “Counselor,” and “who teacheth like Him?” “Who hath known the mind of the Lord? or who hath been His counselor?” He is also “The mighty God,” “wise in heart, and mighty in strength,” declaring that “I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty.” He is “The everlasting Father,” that is, “the Father of the ages,” and all the ages of time, past, present and future, were planned for the glory of “His Son, whom He hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also He made the worlds [ages].” And as “The Prince of Peace” He shall one day, at His return, occupy “the throne of His father David,” and “in His days shall the righteous flourish; and abundance of peace so long as the moon endureth.” And today, we who trust Him “have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ.” |
