It's hard to adore someone you don't really think about. River Valley Worship reminds us in their song, "Adore You," that "unto us a child is born." This is something Isaiah first foretold, and his words are something worth pondering.

Do you know anything about "throne names"? We'll explore Christ's throne names and more on this week's episode.

On this week's episode I discuss:

  • Taking a B.I.T.E. out of Scripture - this week's Bible Interaction Tool Exercises include:
    • Meditation
    • Read in context
    • Slow down
    • Repetition
  • Meditating on Scripture through thoughtful reflection and contemplation
  • Reading difficult sections of Scripture to "get it under your belt"
  • Discovering passages of Old Testament Scripture that are Messianic prophesies through discovering their references in the New Testament - Matthew 4:12-17
  • Our focus area of Scripture - Isaiah 9:1-7
  • The Son being born - Matthew 1:23
  • The Son being given - John 3:16
  • The throne names of Jesus - Bible.org Article
  • An example of a throne name in 2 Samuel 23:1
  • Meditating on the names of Christ in Isaiah 9:6
    • Wonderful counselor
    • Mighty God
    • Everlasting Father
    • Prince of Peace
  • The zeal of the Lord that made all of this come to pass

Additional Resources

  • Lyrics and chords - Open Network
  • The Glorious Messiah and the Messianic Age (Isaiah 9:1-7) - Bible.org article

This Week's Challenge

Keep reading in Matthew 1 and 2, Luke 1 and 2, and now add Isaiah 9. It's okay to meditate on the four names of Christ in this passage. You could follow some cross-references to learn more about how Christ displays these characteristics in Scripture. Be sure to read in context, even if it's just to give you the practice to incorporate this habit into your own Bible interactions.
