“His name shall be called Wonderful,
Counselor, The mighty God,
The everlasting Father,
The Prince of Peace." Isa. 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. 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).
Though equal with God, He took the place of a servant—wondrous grace (Phil. 2:6, 7). He took a life capable of death, though not subject to death (Heb. 2:9). No man took His life from Him (John 10:18). He had the power to give life (John 10:28). In His blessed manhood He was at the same time "over all, God blessed forever. Amen." Rom. 9:5. "In Him dwelleth all the fullness of the Godhead BODILY." Col. 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.
