Good Morning,
There are so many songs to be sung during this Christmas season. I have found myself singing this little chorus.
Isn’t HE wonderful , wonderful, wonderful, isn’t JESUS my LORD my wonderful.
Eyes have seen, ears have heard, tis recorded in GOD’S WORD.
Isn’t JESUS my LORD wonderful.
This is one of the NAMES in Isaiah 9 that describes our wonderful LORD. Here are two Hebrew and Greek words describing HIS NAME “wonderful”. pele' a miracle: - marvelous thing, wonder (-ful, -fully). pâlâ' distinguish (literally or figuratively); by implication to be (causatively make) great, difficult, wonderful: - accomplish, (arise . . . too, be too) hard, hidden, things too high, (be, do, do a, shew) marvelous (-ly, -els, things, work), miracles, perform, separate, make singular, (be, great, make) wonderful (-ers, -ly, things, works), wondrous (things, works, -ly).
(Matthew Henry’s Commentary) Justly is he called Wonderful, for he is both GOD and man. HIS love is the wonder of angels and glorified saints.
Isaiah 25:1 “LORD, you are my God; I will exalt you and praise your name, for in perfect faithfulness you have done WONDERFUL things, things planned long ago.”
Psalm 111:4 “He hath made his wonderful works to be remembered: the LORD is gracious and full of compassion.”
Matthew 21:15 “The leading priests and the teachers of religious law saw these wonderful miracles and heard even the children in the Temple shouting, “Praise God for the Son of David.” But the leaders were indignant.”
So many more scriptures describing the Wonderful (wonders and wondrous) Christ Child our SAVIOR. In Psalm 107 it is used 4 times. “Oh that men would praise the LORD and HIS goodness and for HIS wonderful works to the HIS children.
(John Gill’s exposition) “Christ is wonderful, in all he is, has, or belong unto him; in his person, offices, and relations; in his people, who are for signs and wonders; in his doctrines and ordinances; and in the manifestations of himself and of his grace to his people, now and hereafter; nay, the word signifies not only "WONDERFUL", but a "miracle" itself, as CHRIST is in his person.”
Yes HE is, Yes HE is, Yes HE is WONDERFUL
My eyes have seen and my ears have heard from GOD’S WORD
JESUS my LORD is WONDERFUL.
Today may we all celebrate HIS WONDERFUL NAME!
