Theme: (The Unrecognized But Great Friend From Heaven) Day 4 JESUS, THE WONDERFUL ONE (Isa. 9:6) Texts: John 1:9-11; 5:1-7; Matt. 8:23-27; Lk. 24:13-32 INTRODUCTION:Jesus Christ is no doubt that Great Friend From Heaven as He has been sufficiently proved through the previous studies viz:
- The spread hands of Jesus at death;
- Jesus, the seed of the woman;
- Jesus, the second or last Adam;
- Jesus, the Supplier of the needs of the needy;
- Jesus, the head of principalities and powers; and the head of the church;
- Jesus, the captain of the Lord’s host;
- Jesus, A friend indeed;
Remember that the Lord expects every one of us to take advantage of this wonderful period of revelation messages to get all the blessings from them for our lives and that of our families and neighbours who are under the captivity of the wicked ones.
So, tonight, we shall be looking at this topic; Jesus, the Wonderful One (Isa. 9:6) under the following sub-headings: (1) The term, Wonderful Defined; (2) Previous scriptural Proofs that Jesus is the Wonderful One; (3) Present Proofs that Jesus is the Wonderful One.
THE TERM, “WONDERFUL” DEFINED.
Seeing that wonderful is derived from wonder, we need to explore the meaning of wonder to determine wonderful. Wonder is the state of mind produced by something unexpected or extraordinary; a feeling of amazement and admiration caused by something remarkable or unfamiliar. Wonderful therefore means, extremely good, extraordinary inspiring delight, pleasure or admiration.
PREVIOUS SCRIPTURAL PROOFS THAT JESUS IS THE WONDERFUL ONE
During the time of Jesus= earthly ministry, He proved that He is indeed the wonderful one by many unexpected and extraordinary events in excellence. His teaching/preaching was wonderful, His lifestyle in love, humility, mercy, forgiveness, righteousness, relationship with God, His mighty deeds (casting out devils and healings) were all wonderful (Isa. 9:6; John 7:45-46; Matt. 7:28-29; John 13:1, 13-14; 15:13; Phil. 2:6-8; Luke 23:33-34; John 8:11, 46; 10:1; 8:29; Mark 7:31-37, 25-30; Matt. 4:23-24; 8:14-16; 15:30-31; John 6:1-13).
THE PRESENT PROOFS THAT JESUS IS THE WONDERFUL ONE (Isa. 9:6)
There are evidences that abound to show that Jesus is the Wonderful One today. Through the mighty things He is doing with His servants and children by His Spirit, Word, name, blood and power (Jon. 16:13-15; 8-11; 17:17; 15:3; Rev. 12:11; Col. 1:14; Jon. 6:54-56; Mark 16:17; Phil. 2:9-10; Rom. 10:13 (At this point, the minister should share the testimonies of what God is doing in our midst presently or before).
THE IMPLICATIONS:
Seeing that Jesus Christ is the Wonderful One, every sinner should take advantage of Jesus being the Wonderful One, His love, mercy, forgiveness and repent of all their sins and ask for His mercy and forgiveness. The Lord will definitely show them His love, mercy and forgiveness in the name of Jesus. On the side of believers, they should take advantage of His lifestyle, love, mercy, forgiveness, humility, righteousness and relationship with God, and always pray to be like Him and do the same mighty deeds He did in healing, casting out devils etc.
Generally, we will take advantage of the above truth that Jesus is the Wonderful One and ask Him to do His wonderful works in our lives today because He is the same yesterday, today and forever. The Mighty Jesus is ready here tonight to show Himself as the Wonderful One in your lives and needs (Heb. 13:8).
