God gives us a number of titles of what Jesus will be and how he will relate to us. And it says that this child will be called Wonderful Counselor.
The Christmas season is like a magnifying glass. If you are in a season where things are going well — relationships are solid, business is good, you’re healthy then Christmas is going to magnify those warm feelings. But for others who are battling anxiety, depression, past traumas, conflict in relationships, things in their professional life are struggling — well then Christmas is going to magnify those things as well. So when we hear Jesus being described as a Wonderful Counselor that’s something we all need in very tangible ways.
