Isaiah 9:6-7 Jesus would be called or known as wonderful. Wonderful in His birth. Wonderful in His miracles. Wonderful in His teachings. Wonderful in His resistance to sin. Wonderful in His accomplishing His work. Wonderful in His fulfilling prophecies. Wonderful in His sacrifice. Wonderful in His resurrection. Wonderful is His Name.

1. HE SHALL BE CALLED
WONDERFUL

2. Isaiah 9:6-7 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. 7 Of the increase of His
government and peace There will be no
end, Upon the throne of David and over
His kingdom, To order it and establish it
with judgment and justice From that time
forward, even forever. The zeal of the
LORD of hosts will perform this.

3. HIS NAME WILL BE CALLED…
• Isa 9:6-7 is recognized as one of the most well known
prophecies of Jesus.
• Verse 6 lists five things “His name will be called.”
• This does not mean that these things would be his name.
• It means he would be known as these things.
– Isaiah 7:14 Therefore the Lord Himself will give you a sign:
Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a Son, and shall
call His name Immanuel.
– Matthew 1:23-25 "Behold, the virgin shall be with child, and
bear a Son, and they shall call His name Immanuel," which is
translated, "God with us." 24 Then Joseph, being aroused
from sleep, did as the angel of the Lord commanded him
and took to him his wife, 25 and did not know her till she had
brought forth her firstborn Son. And he called His name
JESUS.
– He would be known as “God with us.” Immanuel
• Tonight we want to look at the first of these, “His name will be
called wonderful.”

4. IN HIS BIRTH
Mat 1:20 But while he thought about
these things, behold, an angel of the Lord
appeared to him in a dream, saying,
"Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to
take to you Mary your wife, for that which
is conceived in her is of the Holy Spirit.

5. IN HIS MIRACLES
Mat 11:5 "The blind see and the lame
walk; the lepers are cleansed and the
deaf hear; the dead are raised up and the
poor have the gospel preached to them.

6. IN HIS TEACHINGS
Mat 7:28-29 And so it was, when Jesus
had ended these sayings, that the
people were astonished at His
teaching, for He taught them as one
having authority, and not as the
scribes.

7. IN HIS RESISTANCE TO SIN
Heb 4:15 For we do not have a High
Priest who cannot sympathize with our
weaknesses, but was in all points
tempted as we are, yet without sin.

8. IN HIS ACCOMPLISHING HIS
WORK
John 17:4 "I have glorified You on the
earth. I have finished the work which
You have given Me to do.

9. IN HIS FULFILLING OF PROPHECIES
• Herbert lockyer lists 26 prophecies of the
last week of Jesus' life and their fulfillment.
• Luke 24:44 Then He said to them, "These
are the words which I spoke to you while I
was still with you, that all things must be
fulfilled which were written in the Law of
Moses and the Prophets and the Psalms
concerning Me.”

10. IN HIS FULFILLING OF PROPHECIES
• Isaiah 53:1-12 Who has believed our report? And to
whom has the arm of the LORD been revealed? 2 For He
shall grow up before Him as a tender plant, And as a
root out of dry ground. He has no form or comeliness;
And when we see Him, There is no beauty that we
should desire Him. 3 He is despised and rejected by men,
A Man of sorrows and acquainted with grief. And we
hid, as it were, our faces from Him; He was despised,
and we did not esteem Him. 4 Surely He has borne our
griefs And carried our sorrows; Yet we esteemed Him
stricken, Smitten by God, and afflicted. 5 But He was
wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our
iniquities; The chastisement for our peace was upon
Him, And by His stripes we are healed. >>>

11. IN HIS FULFILLING OF PROPHECIES
6 All we like sheep have gone astray; We have
turned, every one, to his own way; And the LORD has
laid on Him the iniquity of us all. 7 He was oppressed
and He was afflicted, Yet He opened not His mouth;
He was led as a lamb to the slaughter, And as a sheep
before its shearers is silent, So He opened not His
mouth. 8 He was taken from prison and from
judgment, And who will declare His generation? For
He was cut off from the land of the living; For the
transgressions of My people He was stricken. 9 And
they made His grave with the wicked-- But with the
rich at His death, Because He had done no violence,
Nor was any deceit in His mouth. >>>

12. IN HIS FULFILLING OF PROPHECIES
10 Yet it pleased the LORD to bruise Him; He has put
Him to grief. When You make His soul an offering for
sin, He shall see His seed, He shall prolong His days,
And the pleasure of the LORD shall prosper in His
hand. 11 He shall see the labor of His soul, and be
satisfied. By His knowledge My righteous Servant shall
justify many, For He shall bear their iniquities.
12 Therefore I will divide Him a portion with the great,
And He shall divide the spoil with the strong, Because
He poured out His soul unto death, And He was
numbered with the transgressors, And He bore the sin
of many, And made intercession for the transgressors.

13. IN HIS SACRIFICE
Phil 2:5-8 Let this mind be in you which
was also in Christ Jesus, 6 who, being in
the form of God, did not consider it
robbery to be equal with God, 7 but made
Himself of no reputation, taking the form
of a bondservant, and coming in the
likeness of men. 8 And being found in
appearance as a man, He humbled
Himself and became obedient to the point
of death, even the death of the cross.

14. VIII. IN HIS RESURRECTION
Mat 28:1-6 Now after the Sabbath, as the first day
of the week began to dawn, Mary Magdalene and
the other Mary came to see the tomb. 2 And
behold, there was a great earthquake; for an angel
of the Lord descended from heaven, and came and
rolled back the stone from the door, and sat on it. 3
His countenance was like lightning, and his
clothing as white as snow. 4 And the guards shook
for fear of him, and became like dead men. 5 But
the angel answered and said to the women, "Do
not be afraid, for I know that you seek Jesus who
was crucified. 6 "He is not here; for He is risen, as
He said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay.

15. HIS NAME WAS CALLED WONDERFUL
• Truly the story of Jesus is the most wonderful
story ever told.
• But it is not just a story.
• That story has a profound effect on every
soul that has or will walk this earth.
• What have you done with this Man who is
called wonderful?
