Everlasting Father

December 11, 2022 • Pastor Tim Cinnamon • Isaiah 9:1–6, Psalm 103:13–14, John 3:16–17, Colossians 1:13, 1 Peter 3:18

Isaiah 9:6 - "For to us a child is born, to us a son is given; and the government shall be upon his shoulder, and his name shall be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace." It's a common misconception that "Everlasting Father" is referring to "God The Father". Everlasting Father in this context is referring to Jesus being a king who rules with love, compassion, and grace (like that of an earthly father, and less like a king of that day). Not only was it prophesied that Jesus would be that loving father-like king, he would be everlasting, with us forever and for always!
