“His name will be called wonderful, counselor, The Mighty God, The Everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.”
I want to emphasize the fact that Jesus was referred to as “The Everlasting Father.” This has also been interpreted as “Eternal Father.” What does this tell us about our Savior? It tells that Jesus has always been…period. As the psalmists wrote about Jehovah that He is from “everlasting to everlasting,” the same is said of Jesus. Here is what John wrote about Him in John 1:1-3: “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2. The same was in the beginning with God. 3. All things were made by Him; and without Him was not anything made that was made.” John wanted us to know that the One who gave His life for our salvation, was the eternal Son of God. In John 8:58 Jesus said: “Before Abraham was I am.” This was another way of proclaiming that He has existed from “everlasting to everlasting.” It tells us that Jesus will always be…period. When they crucified Jesus, they thought that the world was through with Him. But Jesus arose three days after He was buried, proving that He was still alive and that the world would never be through with Him. Jesus is alive today and working in the world to bring people to Himself. We can sing with joy and inspiration: “He lives, He lives, Christ Jesus lives today….You ask me how I know He lives…He lives within my heart.” Put leads me to: It tells us that Jesus wants to be alive in our lives. He wants to save people and take them into eternity with Him. Jesus made a great promise to those who trust in Him in John 14:2-3: “In my Father’s house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. 3. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there you may be also.” The wonderful thing is that Jesus loved us enough to come from eternity into the world to save us from our sins. For that reason, we need to give praise to “The Everlasting Father.” Pause and praise Him now! Bro. Joe
