Mighty God

 Day 3: Mighty God


This is the same passage from Isaiah that we looked at yesterday but today we are looking at another of Isaiah’s prophecies descriptions of Jesus: Mighty God. 


Isaiah 9:6 For to us a child is born, 

to us a son is given; 

and the government shall be on his shoulder, 

and his name shall be called

Wonderful Counselor, 

Mighty God, 

Everlasting Father, 

Price of Peace. 


Like yesterday,  this was said long before Jesus was born and here is a New Testament passage that tells us how… 


Hebrews 1:1-3 in bold, my thoughts to the side. 


Long ago, at many times and in many ways, 

God spoke to our fathers by the prophets, 

So this is talking about what we know as the Old Testament,

God spoke to the people, in our faith: our fathers,

By prophets and stories and all we have recored in the OT: 

From Prophesy like Isaiah 

to God appearing to Moses in a burning bush.  

But in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son,

God has spoken to us through Jesus, 

Born as a man, walking talking breathing teaching

Jesus.

Whom he appointed the heir of all things, 

Because he was victorious over Sin and death~

Through whom also he created the world. 

Think back to our lesson yesterday,

Jesus was present at creation, He is the alpha.

He is the radiance of the glory of God and 

The exact imprint of his nature, 

Here it is: He is Mighty God

And he upholds the universe by the world of his power. 

Only Mighty God can uphold the universe!

After making purification for sins, 

He sat down a the right hand of the Majesty on high, 

Our Savior, Victorious and present with God!


Please just take time to read those bold words several times, Jesus is worthy of our time, our worship and our hearts.

So who are we?

 We've been talking about who Jesus is. Anyone wonder who you are?  There are 2 passages I'd like to look at... Isaiah 62: 1-2, 12 (y'all know how much of these teachings have come from Isaiah, its not a surprise God made sure to tell us who we are relating to these prophesies about Jesus) For Zion's sake I will not keep silent, and for Jerusalem's sake I will not be quiet, until her righteousness goes forth as brightness, and for her salvation as a burning torch. The nations shall see your righteousness and you shall be called by a new name that the mouth of the Lord will give . You shall no longer be termed Forsaken, and your land shall no more be termed Desolate, but you shall be called My Delight is in Her, and your land Married; for the Lord delights in you, and your land shall be married... And they shall be called The Holy People , The Redeemed of the Lord ; and you shall be called Sought Out, A City Not Forsaken .  1 Peter 2:8b-10 They stumble because they d...

Jesus Christ

  Day 24: Jesus Christ Luke 1:26- Gabriel: “Greetings, O favored one, the Lord is with you!”… “Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God. And behold, you will conceive in your womb and bear a son, and you shall call his name Jesus. He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High. And the Lord God will give to him the throne of his father David, and he will reign over the house of Jacob forever, and of his kingdom there will be no end.” Luke 2:21 And at the end of eight days, when he was circumcised, he was called Jesus, the name give by the angel before he was conceived in the womb.  God didn’t send Jesus to earth with hopes it would work out. Even more so, Jesus wasn’t born on earth and evolve into God’s call. There was a plan and a purpose from the beginning. The same is true for your life, by the way. And knowing this Jesus will help empower us as we go.  1 Corinthians 15:1 Now I would remind you, brothers, of the gospel I preach...

Shiloh

  Day 20: Shiloh Genesis 49:10 The scepter shall not depart from Judah, nor the ruler’s staff from between his feet,  until tribute comes to him; and to him shall be the obedience of the peoples.  Alrighty, lots going on here. First of all, this is just before Jacob is about to die. He calls his sons together and speaks prophecies over all their lives. Some are good, some are harsh.  Remember that family is super, crazy important to God. He chose the family to pass his story along. He created Adam from dust and made Eve from one of Adams ribs but after that, he carried his turn along in families. But he didn’t just tell the story of Himself through fathers and mothers passing along the story to their children, he kept the prophecy in his family too. So much so that when we ready the lineage in the beginning of the New Testament in Matthew, we can pick out names and we know how they fit in. That family was not perfect, and neither is their story, it is not squ...
