Of the increase of his government and of peace there will be no end “His name will be called Wonderful Counselor.“ That is because the counsel He gives will fill you with wonder and awe. '. . (Isaiah 9:6 â€" 7 a, Revised Standard Ver- sion). It is wonderful counsel because it springs from divine wisdom, and that wisdom comes from the Holy Spirit, Who indwells this Wonderful Counselor so fully. “There shall come forth a shoot from the stem of Jesse, and a branch shall grow out of his roots. And the Spirit of the Lord shall rest upon him, the spirit of wisdom and un- derstanding, the spirit of counsel and might, the spirit of knowledge and the fear of the Lord And his delight shall be in the fear (reverence) 0f the Lord. He shall not judge by what his eyes see, or decide by what his ears hear; but with righteousness he shall judge the poor, and decide with equity for the meek 0f the earth . . . “ (Isaiah 1121-43 Revised Standard Version). Who is this Wonderful Counselor? It is Jesus the Messiah, the God-with-us Who was born in a barn on the first Christmas, thus assuring the poor and the meek of- this planet, that it is not a “standoffish” God with whom we have to deal, but Someone Who knows us through and through, and Who cares for each one of us with a tender, yearning love. This God has come among us in the Person of His only Son, and that is good news indeed! Superior counsel The counsel that Jesus gives is infinitely superior to that of earthborn counselors: psychiatrists, medical doctors, clergymen, vocational guides, marriage con- sultants, newspaper columnists, disc jockeys, or hot-line artists.

So it should be. for He knows and understands the human machine far better than they. Why? Because He helped to design and build it. and it is by His primary power (Colossians 1:17) that it is operational. Are you experiencing breakdown, frustration, and anger in your life? The let me counsel you to ask for Jesus' counsel. It is a wonderful counsel. because He is the Won- derful Counselor.
