Wonderful Counselor
Christmas at Cedar Creek – Part 1
“Nevertheless, there will be no more gloom for those who were in distress. In the past he humbled the land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali, but in the future he will honor Galilee of the nations, by the Way of the Sea, beyond the Jordan. The people walking in darkness HAVE seen a great light; on those living in the land of deep darkness a light HAS dawned.” Isaiah 9:1-2 (NIV)
“For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders… And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.” Isaiah 9:6 (NIV)
