Default Everlasting Father

Jesus, Name Above All Names! “Everlasting Father”


As we conclude the series, “Jesus, Name Above All Names!” we will look at His name Everlasting Father, as He is referred to in the Old Testament.
Our hope is that you have learned more about the character of Jesus, brought to light by the many names He was referred to in the Bible. If you missed any of the posts, you may choose to do a search for them at Meet Me in the Meadow, where they are archived.
May the coming year continue to draw us closer to Him, to equip us to reflect His radiance to others, and to discipline us to look in His Word to know Him better. May we see Him at work IN us, THROUGH us, and ALL AROUND us, as we yield to His will!
Happy New Year from all of us at Meet Me in the Meadow!

Everlasting Father
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… The everlasting Father… Isaiah 9:6
Before the mountains were brought forth,
Or ever You had formed the earth and the world,
Even from everlasting to everlasting, You are God. Psalm 90:2 NKJV

Everything in Jesus and about Jesus is everlasting. He is not a temporary Savior who is filling in until someone else comes along. Nothing about Him will go out of date or become irrelevant.
In the world, things wear off, wear out, die out, or dry up. The fun or pleasure people experience at a party soon leaves them, and so they seek out a new party or experience that will bring them some measure of momentary satisfaction. But the reality of Jesus Christ in our hearts never becomes stale, dry, empty, or meaningless.
Jesus is everlasting joy, not momentary joy. He is your joy today, and He will be your joy tomorrow. All that Jesus was to you yesterday He is today; all that He is to you today He will always be, and more so as time goes by.
