The Gospel of IsaiahЗразок

## A Son Is Given to Us In 700 BC, the nation of Israel had overwhelming problems. They were surrounded by vicious enemies. The people had forgotten God. Darkness, death, and despair filled the land. What was the solution? A new government, leader, economic reform, military strategy, or education system? Isaiah declares that hope will only arrive, in a newborn baby. How could that be? More than  a usual baby—He would be a king. Indeed, He would be the King of kings and would rule the world. This baby king would have four titles, describing what He can do for us: “Wonderful Counselor.” This King has all wisdom and understanding; life’s complexities that are beyond us, are not beyond Jesus. Do you need wisdom? Go to the Wonderful Counselor. He knows what to do. “Mighty God.” Now we know, that this King is none other than God in the flesh. He is the mighty God, mighty enough to save us. Whatever the need, He can do it. He can rescue you “Everlasting Father.” This King is like a loving father in the way He cares for us. He provides. He protects. He shepherds. He cares. He understands. He listens. What is your greatest burden right now? Bring it to Him. He cares about you. “Prince of Peace.” Jesus can take your fears, your worries, your guilt, and your hopelessness, and replace them with His peace. He can flood your heart with peace. He can envelop you in peace because He, is the Prince of Peace. The ultimate solution to the needs of ancient Israel was this most unusual baby. The baby who was King. He is your solution too. Call out to Him. Look to Him. Run to Him. He knows what to do. He can rescue you. He cares about you. He can flood your heart with peace. Run to Him now.
