Expositional Paper #1

For to us a child is born, to us a son is given; and the government shall be upon his shoulder, and his name shall be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace (Isaiah 9:6). When Isaiah prophesied of the coming of Jesus Christ the People of God were in fact going through very tough times. This prophecy was to fill God’s chosen people up with assurance and hope as they were treading through a harsh period. In this verse four titles or characteristics of Christ are given to the people through the prophet Isaiah. New Testament believers can still relate to this verse because it does inform us of Christ's eternal characteristics which are still alive, active and demonstrated to this day through the precious gift of the Holy Spirit.

    He is a prophet and will speak on behalf of God. He cannot have impure lips because the divine message delivered through him must not be tainted. The act of Isaiah’s “iniquity” being turned away is quite interesting. “Iniquity” is most appropriately understood as a deliberate perversion of God’s way;12therefore, the angel is acknowledging Isaiah’s and the people of God’s deliberate idolatry, but those “iniquities” have been turned away.
