EVERLASTING FATHER
“For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called … THE EVERLASTING FATHER…” Isaiah 9:6
In just about one breath the prophet calls Jesus a Child, a Son, and an Everlasting Father. This infant is infinite!
Earthly leaders have a very short reign, but the reign of Jesus is without beginning and there is no end to it. There has never been a time He hasn’t existed. He could not have this name if He ever “wasn’t”. He will reign over His people forever. His majesty will never fade. His blood will never lose its power.
As our Everlasting Father, that leads us to consider what matters for eternity : worship, witness, the word, giving, sacrificing, serving, etc..
Having everlasting life from an Everlasting Father should affect our actions.
-To become a doctor affects educational plans.
-To become an athlete affects workout regimen.
Our expectations affect our decisions.
Christians will live in defeat if our expectations are limited to just our time on earth. We can and must consider eternity now because we have an EVERLASTING FATHER.
