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.
7 Of the increase of his government and of peace there will be no end, on the throne of David and over his kingdom, to establish it and to uphold it with justice and with righteousness from this time forth and forevermore. The zeal of the LORD of hosts will do this.
Observation: Jesus is friend (Counselor), Our King (God), Our creator(Father), and our reconciliation (Prince of Peace). His roles where revealed to Isaiah long in advance. The whole Jesus being called Father thing is a bit confusing, but considering John 1:3, it isn't out of line with reality.
Application: I need to understand the fullness of Jesus, and submit to him in all of his roles. He is a comforter. He is my ruler. All things where made through him. And I am redeemed through his sacrifice. He did all of these things for a reason.
Prayer: I pray that I trust him so completely that I never hide anything from him. I pray that I believe his commandments so much that I do not disobey them. I Thank him for all that was, and is, and is to come. Most of all, I thank him for his great sacrifice. Making peace on my behalf, with the God who I have sinned against.
