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...

God with us

  Day 23: God with us Luke 2:1-20 In those days a decree went out from Caesar Augustus that all the world should be registered. This was the first registration when Quirinius was governor of Syria. And all went to be registered, each to his own town. And Joseph also went up from Galilee, from the town of Nazareth to Judea, to the city of David, which is called Bethlehem, because he was of the house and lineage of David, to be registered with Mary, his betrothed, who was with child. And while they were there, the time came for her to give birth. And she gave birth to her firstborn son and wrapped him in swaddling clothes and laid him in a manger, because there was not place for them in the inn. And in the same region there were shepherds out in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night. And an angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were filled with great fear. And the angel said to them, “Fear not, for behold, I bring ...

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...
