Isaiah 9:6: 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.
For all that our Savior is in word, deed and character, He truly is Wonderful. As we strive to heed the words “spoken … by [His] own voice or by the voice of [His] servants” (D&C 1:38), Jesus becomes our Counsellor. When we contemplate the declaration of Heavenly Father to Moses, “worlds without number have I created; and I also created them for mine own purpose; and by the Son I created them, which is mine Only Begotten” (Moses 1:33, emphasis added), we understand that our Elder Brother is the mighty God. Through the Atonement, all of the ordinances of the gospel have been activated and when we are baptized and receive the gift of the Holy Ghost we are spiritually reborn; thus Jesus becomes our everlasting Father as we take His name upon us and become a member of His family of saints. Finally, Jesus is the Prince of Peace as His amazing grace brings peace to our souls in times of favor and in times of trouble.
