Isaiah. 9. 6. And his name shall be called wonderful.
Quest. Why is it that Christ hath given to him this name of wonderful.
Quest. WHy is it that Christ hath given to him this name of wonderful.
Answ. There are so many wonders that meet together in Christ, that tis no wonder at all, that he should have this name, wonderful. Christ was every way wonderful. He was wonderful in his Person; wonderful in his Passion. Wonderful in his Conception, being conceived by the power of the holy Ghost: wonderful in his Birth, being born of a pure virgin: wonderful in his Life; wonderful in his death, and the effects of it: wonderful in his Resurrection, that a dead person ⟨p. 186⟩should be raised and that by his own power: wonderful in his Ascension. In a word he was every way wonderful: wonderful in his Humiliation and Exaltation.
