Wonderful Counsellor, Mighty God, Prince of Peace:
When we consider Jesus as Wonderful Counsellor, we need to look at this in context. “Wonderful” depicts a God who is out of the ordinary, and can do amazing things. And “Counsellor” indicates a wisdom beyond what we have in ourselves. Historically in Hebrew culture, a counsellor referred to a king giving counsel to his people. We are the people of God in this way. When we consider Jesus as Mighty God, we are reminded of His protection and provision. He is strong when we aren’t. He will protect us when we need to be defended. He is our strength. When we consider Jesus as the Prince of Peace, we are reminded that we serve a God of peace, who came to bring ultimate peace to the world. That was His mission and ministry, and without Him, there is no peace. Jesus came not to bring peace to the world as in the absence of war, but peace between God and man who were separated by sin. He died to reconcile sinners to a holy God. We thank God for His goodness in bringing us ultimate peace and rest in Christ.
