       ^"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, Counselor, Mighty God, 
        Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace."
        (Isaiah 9:6)

One of the saddest realities in life is the spiritual blindness of many to the truth of the diety of the Lord Jesus Christ.  Speaking about the Messiah who was to be born of a woman, the prophet Isaiah writes in our text above five descriptive names including Mighty God and Everlasting Father.  Yet, the Jews do not believe that the Messiah is actually God in human form.

It is not just the diety of the Messiah that the Jews don't believe; they also do not acknowledge that Jesus is the Messiah prophesied by the prophet Isaiah in our Scripture passage.  In chapter 53 of the book of Isaiah, the prophet details the suffering of the Messiah who was to come.  Ancient Jewish Rabbis agreed that Isaiah 53 was describing the Messiah.  Today, however, Isaiah 53 is deliberately not mentioned in Synagogues and by the Rabbis, again, due to their spiritual blindness in rejecting Christ.

Jesus is Mighty God described in Isaiah 9 as well as the suffering Messiah in Isaiah 53.  The question is: Do you believe it?  If you answer yes, you must answer to the Lord Jesus Christ about how you live your life. Do you live your life to reflect that Jesus is your Lord or is your profession of faith in Him just that - a mere profession without true conviction and conversion?  I pray it is the latter.
