Wonderful - Jesus Is

Jesus is called, Wonderful. I used to always think of this as an adjective (and don't get me wrong, I know my English parts of speech). Like..."That was a wonderful meal", or "I had a wonderful time at the play tonight.

Before the birth of Samson, we have an appearance of the Angel of the Lord in Judges 13 says to Manoah, Samson's father, "Why do you ask my name, seeing it is Wonderful?" Manoah should have been able to see his Name is Wonderful. That IS His name. Or again, the often quoted scripture of the promised Messiah in Isaiah 9:6, "...and His name shall be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace." The name of this blessed savior would be Wonderful.

One of the names of the Son of God is Wonderful. He is truly, full of Wonder. To look at Him is to be in awe. Anyone who saw Him in His glory, was immediately awestruck. Even when he did works as a man, men looked at Him and wondered, "What manner of man is this?" He is a wonder evoking being, a beautiful and mighty God. He is without comparison and beyond measure.

He is indeed Wonderful.
