(Isa 9:6 KJV) For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.

Wonderful

He has by inheritance obtained a more excellent name than all the angels (Heb.1:4).  His name is exalted above every name (Php.2:9-11).  In his name we receive many wonderful blessings (Jn.14:13,14) and fullness of joy (Jn.16:23,24).

Counsellor

He is the one to whom we can go when in need (Heb.4:12-16).  It is He who has the words of eternal life (Jn.6:68).  He, being the Word of God (Jn.1:1-3,14), can be our delights and counsellor (Ps. 119:24).  How happy is the man who turns to Him for direction (Ps.1:1-3)!

The Mighty God

None in heaven or in earth can be compared to Him (Ps.89:6,7). He is unique, He is great, and His name is great because of His power (Jer.10:6).  He is the Lord God omnipotent who reigns over all (Rev.19:6).

The Everlasting Father

He is one with the Father and keeps His people securely (Jn.10:27-30).  Those who saw Him saw the Father (Jn.12:44;14:9).  It is He who is the perfect and unchanging source of blessing to those who delight in Him (Jas.1:17;Ps.37:4).

Prince of Peace

He is ordained of God an high priest after the order of the King of Peace (Melchisedec)  (Heb.5:5,6;7:1). He is our peace (Eph.2:14-17) who has reconciled us to God by Himself (2Cor.5:17-21).
