JESUS: PONDER HIS WONDER

For unto us a Child is born, unto us a Son is given: and the government will be upon His shoulder. And His name will be called WONDERFUL... – Isaiah 9:6

I continue to ponder the Wonder of Jesus! He is full of and overflowing in wonders. His name is called Wonderful, Counsellor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace! He is Matchless in Personality, Purity, and Power! Throughout the centuries since His birth, humanity continues to marvel at the wonder of His Person, Power, and Ministry. An anonymous author declared:

“He became a man that we might become the sons of God. In infancy He troubled a king. In boyhood He puzzled the teachers. In manhood He ruled the course of nature. He walked upon the billows, hushed the sea to sleep, and healed the multitudes without medicine. He never wrote a book, yet the libraries of the world are filled with volumes that have been written about Him. He never penned a musical note, yet He is the theme of more songs than any other subject. Great men have come and gone, yet He lives on. Herod could not kill Him. Satan could not seduce Him. All others have failed in some way, but not Jesus! This perfect One is altogether lovely.”

What a Wonder! What a Marvel! “And the men marvelled, saying, “Who can this be, that even the winds and the sea obey him?” (Mt.8:27). It is written of Him, “…all men did marvel” (Mk.5:20). Of Him Pilate said, “I find no fault in this Man” (Lk.23:4). A Roman soldier declared, “Certainly this was a righteous Man” (Lk.23:47). God Himself announced from heaven, “This is My beloved Son, Hear Him!” (Mk.9:7). Not only is Christ matchless in His Person and work, but He is also our Marvellous Saviour and Faithful Friend. Jesus is wonderful! Let’s celebrate His Wonder; He who makes us to be as a wonder unto many (Psa.71:7)
