His Name Shall Be Called......

Summary: I would like for you to look with me in this message at this the first name of ISAIAH 9:6, and let us see if He is worthy of this name.
• He was and is wonderful in his Birth
We must admit that the Character of many of the Royal Family members we have witnessed in the last few generations left much to be desired.
• Prince Harry is considered to be a Bad Boy, likes to Party
• Been called in by the his Grandmother the Queen on a few occasions
• Prince Harry is considered to be the Royal Bad Boy
• We know that Prince Charles had some bad behavior as well
• This is why Princess Dianna seemed so sad in midst of living a Royal life
Jesus was wonderful in His character. His character was wonderful.
• No one has ever approached perfection as did Jesus Christ
• It is wonderful that the greatest character ever produced should have come from Nazareth
• He cane to bless - not curse
• He came to heal - not to kill
• He came to lift up the fallen - not to cast them down
• He came to reveal the Father’s love
• He came to give rest to the weary
Jesus was Wonderful in His Life. When we consider the lives of those around us, we quickly note that even our lives are filled with selfish gain. I must admit that I am not a fan of Catholicism or the Ascension of the Popes. But I must admit that this new Pope Francis, I like his approach to ministry. He does not worship at the altar of greed like so many before him and those we see in Christianity today. Pope Francis is restoring what a Pope really is:
• Shunned papal limousine on night of election
• Refused to have his hotel bill paid for, paid it himself
• Vatican states he will not use prepared remarks at Mass – speaks from his heart
• In Rio De Janero visited the poorest of the Poor
• He refuses the Papal Throne
• Refuses to live in the plush Papal Residence
• Lives in a small one bedroom apartment
• Will not ride in the Limousines and Mercedes
• Travels using Public Transportation
• Most of us in our lowly positions in life don’t do what he has done thus far in his leadership
• In our ministries we have – JETS, HELICOPTERS, MANSIONS, POOLS, BENTLY, PRESIDENTIAL SUITES WHEN WE DO REVIVALS, ROLEX
Yes, the Life of Jesus was wonderful. Even the enemies of Christ could not find any fault in Him. Only that He claimed God for his Father, and that He would do good on the Sabbath day. There was not the slightest evidence that He was selfish or self centered. He was always helping others, and not once did He do anything for Himself. He would not even turn stone into bread, though He certainly could have when He was hungry after a forty day fast in the wilderness.
When escaping from His enemies, He stopped to help a blind man who had been in that condition since birth, doing so at the risk of his life.
• He never sought His own in any way, but always helping others
• He had compassion over Jerusalem as He wept over the people there
• His first miracle was to save a peasant woman from humiliation at a wedding
