Jesus is referred to as the Wonderful Counselor because He embodies divine wisdom and guidance for all spiritual matters.
Jesus is called the Wonderful Counselor in Isaiah 9:6, signifying His unique role in providing divine guidance and wisdom to His people. Unlike earthly counselors, He reveals the mysteries of the gospel and the will of God, acting as the ultimate source of truth and direction. His counsel is not based on human wisdom but is rooted in His divine nature. As stated in Isaiah 28, He is 'wonderful in counsel, excellent in working,' demonstrating that His counsel is perfect and effective for the salvation of sinners. For all who seek direction in their lives, turning to Christ as the Counselor reveals the heart of God’s will, providing peace and assurance.
