Unlike any other child, Jesus’ identity could be known while still a newborn and an infant, since the prophets had foretold his coming centuries before, in many times and in many places. This sermon explores the biblical background behind the titles he is given in Isaiah 9: Wonderful, Counsellor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, and Prince of Peace. Together they reveal Jesus as God incarnate, the wisdom of God, creator of heaven and earth, author and finisher of God’s everlasting covenant, and the only way of peace between God and man.
