Man's maker was made man that He, Ruler of the stars, might nurse at His mother's breast; that the Bread might hunger, the Fountain thirst, the Light sleep, the Way be tired on its journey; that Truth might be accused of false witnesses, the Teacher be beaten with whips, the Foundation be suspended on wood; that Strength might grow weak; that the Healer might be wounded; that Life might die.
Saint Augustine
The Passage:
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.
Of the increase of his government and of peace
there will be no end,
on the throne of David and over his kingdom,
to establish it and to uphold it
with justice and with righteousness
from this time forth and forevermore.
The zeal of the Lord of hosts will do this.
The List
God became flesh for us
God became a human child
God has a son
God gave for US his son
He is destined to have the government of the universe resting on His shoulder
His name is Wonderful Counsellor (He is a wonderful counsellor)
His name is and he is the mighty God
His name is and he is the Prince of Peace
His government will never stop increasing
His government will neverend
He will rule on Davids throne
He will establish and uphold or maintain his kingdom with justice and righteousness forever
His zeal will accomplish the building of His kingdom
He is the Lord of hosts.
Declarations:
God, creator of the universe. You stooped from the highest to the lowest place to become flesh for OUR SAKE.
You came even as a child, dependant on weak humans.
You have a son.
And you GAVE your son for us.
On this son, the government of the universe will rest on his shoulders. He will have all authority in heaven on earth and it will all be held together by him.
You are the wonderful counselor, you counsel us!
You are the mighty God, prince of peace…the one that was promised to your people.
Your government will never stop increasing, it will go on forever. You will take the throne of your father David, you will rule and reign with him.
You will build, establish and maintain your kingdom with Justice and righteousness.
Your zeal, the excitement and passion you have in your heart for us will accomplish this.
You are the Lord of Hosts. Name above every other name.
This Weeks Song:
What did you see in us?
What did you see in us?
That stirred zeal in your heart
And made you want to come
And become flesh
Become dependant
What did you see in us?
What did you see in us?
For we’ll never understand
The depth that you came for us
We’ll never understand
How much you love
For we’ll never understand
The depth that you came for us
We’ll never understand
How much you love
We’ll never understand
How much you love
There will come a day when the
government will rest on your shoulders
There will come a day when we will be
with the wonderful councillor Mighty
