154. Christ’s Fivefold Glory

Isa_9:6

One of the names of Christ is: “Wonderful—Counsellor—The Mighty God—The Everlasting Father—The Prince of Peace.” “His Name,” not His names, is thus expressed. Christ exemplified every one of the five sections of “His Name” in His life. 1. He was the “Wonderful” in the perfection of His holy life—Heb_7:26.

2. He was the “Counsellor” in the life-giving and light-imparting words of His love—Joh_6:63.

3. He was “The Mighty God” in the wonder-working of His miracles—Act_10:38.

4. He was “The Everlasting Father” in the Revelation He made and was of the Father—Joh_14:7.

5. He was “The Prince of Peace” in the peace He made by the Blood of His Cross, in what He is; and He will be the Prince of Peace when He comes to set up His Kingdom, for then, and not till then, “Of the increase of His government and peace there shall be no end” (Isa_9:7).
