Names are important. They mean something. That's true of Jesus and the four names he was given by God through the prophet Isaiah. One of those names can be a little confusing, though: Everlasting Father. How can Jesus, coming as a baby, be the Son and also the Father?

Isaiah doesn’t say the Messiah will be The Father, it says he will be called “Everlasting Father.” This name describes Jesus. It helps us know him, as in how to experience him, relate with him, learning how to be with him by knowing how he is with us. 

This message, which was originally given December 15, 2024, connects some dots between God, our Heavenly Father, the prophet Isaiah, Jesus, and us today.
