This week’s readings are based on the “Behold” sermon series. For this series, we are looking at what it truly means to BEHOLD, gaze at, grasp, relish, internalize, and rejoice in Jesus Christ. Start beholding right now by giving thanks for this time with God. Then start reading the text and letting it read you.

Wonderful Counselor.
Isaiah 9:6 (ESV)

For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but one who in every respect has been tempted as we are, yet without sin. Let us then with confidence draw near to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need.
Hebrews 4:15-16 (ESV)

He is the Wonderful Counselor. This name should stir up a deep sense of awe and peace within us, because it means that Jesus is the supernatural source of extraordinary wisdom. In His divinity, He is all-knowing. In His humanity, He understands. This is why we can come to Him confidently, asking for wisdom and guidance that only He can give.

Where do you need the Wonderful Counselor? Right now, come to Him for direction and counsel. Talk to Him honestly and humbly seek His guidance. Listen to His Word, for all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge are found in Him (Colossians 2:3).
