Governed by the Word of God (Part 1)
"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, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace" (Isaiah 9:6).
Isaiah is speaking here of a savior - a wonderful prince of peace coming to rule over a kingdom. This kingdom would be made up of a people wholly submitted to the prince's supreme authority. And the prince himself would provide loving counsel to those he ruled over, guiding and directing their lives.
