Isaiah ch9 vs6 -7 –
“For 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….”
Matthew’s Gospel ch11 vs16 -30.
The health industry has made such great progress in so many
areas of physical ailments over the years, yet despite the huge growth in the Counselling
industry, sadly psychological problems continue to abound.
In times past, Church leaders used to be the local Counsellors,
and God has been a great Counsellor to His people. So much of this has now been
sidelined since the boom of psychiatrists and professional Counsellors.
However, we have in Jesus Christ such a Wonderful Counsellor,
who excels above anyone or anything in this world - two words - which have such
relevance to today!
1) Wonderful…
Explain wonderful…Jesus is Wonderful! Only suitable and
applying to God Himself!
Jesus Christ fulfilled prophecies, most appropriately
indicating His Divinity and Deity.
This is Emmanuel – God and man, and this is the greatest
wonder of all – that God should be contracted to a span!
2) Counsellor…
Not only in nature, but Wonderful in Counsellor too.
Wonderfully superior to the world’s best professional
Counsellors!
He has the power to see into our hearts and thoughts. He
knows everything there is to know about us.
“O Lord, thou hast searched me, and known me. Thou knowest
my downsitting and mine uprising, thou understandest my thought afar off. Thou
compassest my path and my lying down, and art acquainted in all my ways. For
there is not a word in my tongue, but lo, O Lord thou knowest it altogether.
Thou hast beset me behind and before,
and laid thy hand upon me. Such knowledge
is too wonderful for me, it is high, I cannot attain unto it”. – Psalm ch139 vs1 -6.
“…in whom are hid all the treasures of wisdom and
knowledge”.
–
Colossians ch2 vs3.
Which earthly Counsellor can compare with this!
Trusting Jesus Christ is the first application for each person
tonight
Put your whole confidence in Him.
He is the very best person to turn to at any time for
anything.
Prosperity or a host of other things are not success – but getting to know God..
A spiritual relationship with The Lord Jesus Christ IS
success!
This personal relationship can only be achieved through
accepting that Jesus Christ is the Eternal Son of God, who came into this world
and took flesh in order that He, as the perfect sinless man, could lay down His
holy life on The Cross – a sacrifice for the sins of everyone.
He took the
punishment and guilt of our sins – and yours too dear friend – that whosoever comes
to him in repentance and will receive Him as their personal Lord and Saviour,
will no longer face an eternal Hell separated from God, but being forgiven
through His blood, will have a home in Heaven with this wonderful Saviour
forever.
Why would you delay from getting to know and trust such a
lovely Man who died and rose again, even for you?!
His offer of this full and
free Salvation is still available tonight, simply come as you are and Jesus
Christ will accept you right now!
“Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I
will give you rest…” –
This is a great invite from Jesus Christ to all who are
suffering and full of problems.
There are no working or lasting solutions from any others.
Often, we are so weak, but He is ever strong – a dependable
Rock.
“Casting all your care upon him: for he careth for you”. – 1st
Peter ch5 vs7.
Jesus Christ will take your strain.
Grow and learn from the best Counsellor!
He also has the best manual for everyday help and life’s
problems – contained in His written word, The Holy Bible.
In conclusion, not only is Jesus Christ Wonderful, but the
Wonderful Counsellor…
He beckons us to come to Him and know Him.
