Isaiah 9:6 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.
No wonder Jesus is called Wonderful. He is a Wonderful Saviour! He forgave all our sins, He gave us the gift of His own righteousness and came to actually live in those who believe in Him. Christ in you the hope of glory. That’s wonderful and there is no bigger miracle!😊
In the days of Moses we saw God demonstrate His miracle working power over nature to bring His purposes about. Pharaoh’s hard heart brought about his own destruction and death of his firstborn.
Fast forward to Jesus’ day and we see God performing so many marvellous miracles through Jesus they couldn’t all be written down, there were so many. But this time they were all miracles of healing, life and restoration. What a contrast! God is showing us we’ve moved from the Old Covenant and His way of dealing with His enemies before the Cross, and the New Covenant, which was about to be brought into place by Jesus’ sacrifice.
Jesus declared His New Covenant at the last supper with His disciples. He has taken us from death and destruction to life and wholeness. His grace is available to us all and included in His grace is His provision of healing, miracles and everything else when we need them. No wonder He is called Wonderful!
I’m so grateful we live in the days of the New Covenant and that it’s all for us here and now. Jesus paid for it all at the Cross, for us to lay a hold of it all by faith and take it as our own.
Colossians 1:27 For God wanted them to know that the riches and glory of Christ are for you Gentiles too. And this is the secret: Christ lives in you. This gives you assurance of sharing his glory.
We can truly thank the Lord we’re no longer under the law of the Old Covenant but set free to live in the wonder of the New Covenant - forgiveness, healing, deliverance from the curse of the law, miracles, an abundant life in Jesus and glory to come. We know Someone who is Wonderful! I hope you too are believing in Him and can say ‘Amen’.😊
