DECEMBER 19 THE KING WHO IS WORTHY By Jim Jeffery Discipleship Pastor, Chapel Pointe
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. (Isaiah 9:6)
The birth of a king is an important event in history. The quality of life in the kingdom depends on the character and competency of the new monarch. Jesus was born to be the worthy King over your life, nations, creation, and His Church. He is worthy because He was born as a child in His humanity. He is the Son who was given in His deity. The “government will be on His shoulder” because He has ultimate authority and carries the weight of responsibility for all He rules (Matthew 28:18). He is called “Wonderful, Counselor” as a competent decision maker because He is greater than Solomon, and in Him are hid the treasures of wisdom (Colossians 2:3). He is the “Mighty God” with power to overcome every enemy including sin, death, and Satan’s armies. His Resurrection, Ascension and Second Coming all prove His power. He is the “Everlasting Father” as the Ancient of Days, the Patriarch of His people who will never die, The One who was, is, and is to come. Therefore, there will never be a need for another King. He is the “Prince of Peace.” Where Christ rules, there is peace (Isaiah 9:7). In any area of your life where you have not surrendered to Christ’s authority, there will not be peace. When we submit to His rule, we experience His shalom . There will be peace on earth when He sets up His kingdom. There is none better suited to sit on the throne of your life.
