Charles Spurgeon Commentary Isaiah 9:6

"For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given; and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace." — Isaiah 9:6 (ASV)

How is it that the Lord Jesus becomes glorious in our eyes? And He whose name is Immanuel is now crowned in our heart with many crowns and honored with many titles.

What a list of glories we have here! What a burst of song it makes when we sing of the Messiah: His name shall be called Wonderful, Counselor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace! Each word sounds like a salvo of artillery.

It is all very well to hear players on instruments and sweet singers rehearse these words, but to believe them and realize them in your own soul is far better.

When every fear and every hope, and every power and every passion of our nature fill the orchestra of our heart, and all unite in one inward song to the glorious Immanuel, what music it is!
