On Wednesdays during Advent we are reflecting on the themes of Hope, Peace, Love and Joy, and sharing an Advent video series from the Bible Project that explores each word in the context of scripture. We encourage you to engage in an experiment of collective contemplation and share your own reflections on the study in the comments.
Isaiah 9.6-7
His name will be Wonderful Counselor, Powerful God,
Father Who Lives Forever, Prince of Peace.
Power and peace will be in his kingdom
and will continue to grow forever.
He will rule as king on David’s throne
and over David’s kingdom.
He will make it strong
by ruling with justice and goodness
from now on and forever.
The Lord All-Powerful will do this
because of his strong love for his people.
