“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

As we have been sharing with our students this week, we have focused on this promise from the book of Isaiah who reminds us that God’s answer to the brokenness of the world was not through military power or human wisdom, but through the gift of His son Jesus Christ, the Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, and Prince of Peace! Unlike earthly leaders who necessarily depend on advisers, Christ Himself embodies perfect wisdom and authority, ruling with justice and righteousness forever. For our children, this truth is vital…they are growing up in a world today that is marked by confusion and suffering, yet they can know that God’s ultimate answer is found in Christ alone. As parents and educators, we are called to point their hearts toward joyful submission to His counsel, trusting that His ways are always better than ours. By doing this, we help them see that God’s greatest gift is not just an idea or a system, but a Savior who sovereignly reigns with love and purpose!
