(1) The prophet Isaiah prophesied under the administration of 4 Kings,
Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz and Hezekiah.
He was called to prophesy in the year that King Uzziah died.
Isaiah declared in the 6th Chapter of Isaiah that he was a man of unclean
lips and God sent Cherbins and touched his lips with hot coals and purged
him. Isaiah answered the call of God and said "Here am I Lord send me"

Behold a virgin shall conceive and bear a child. His name shall be called
Emmanuel.(God with us)
He was wounded for our transgressions and bruised for our iniquities

In Isaiah 9:6
unto us a child is born and a son is given and his name shall be called
wonderful, counsellor, mighty God, prince of peace.
He was Isaiah's Lamb brought to the slaughter

Solomon's Rose of Sharon
Zechariah's Fountain
Malachi's Refiner
John's Lamb of God
(4)He was Wonderful in Conception
So wonderful that Mary could not understand it, she said "How can these
things be."
With God all things are possible.
(5) He was wonderfull at Birth
At his birth Wise men followed a strange Star.
King herod was startled.
Shepherds saw an angel that told of the birth of a little baby boy wrapped
in Swaddling Clothes.
An Angelic host was praising God and singing, Glory to God in the Highest
and peace on Earth and Goodwill toward Men.
(6)HE was Wonderful in the Constitution of his Person
Son of God and Son of Man,
Human and Divine,
Eternity united to time.

John 1:2 The same was in the beginning with God.
He is Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end.
(7)He was Wonderful in his Baptism
he came straightway out of the water, and Heaven opened up and the Spirit
descending like a Dove and lighting upon him and a voice from heaven
saying "This ia my Beloved Son in whom I am well Pleased".

At the age of twelve he sat with the scholars, asking and answering
questions. He declared to his mother that "He must be about his Father's
Business. And all that heard him speak said "they never heard a man spake
like this man before".
He had the Fountain of Wisdom in him.

Stlled the raging Seas. Matt. 8:23-27
Raised the Dead, John 11

He was choosen to die in the place of Barrabas.
A thieve was converted and promised eternal Life on the Cross next to
Christ.
There was midnight at midday, Rocks were rent, Graves were opened, the
earth shook, the Veil in the Temple was torn in half. A Centurion
confessed "Truly this was the Son of God."

Guards fell as dead Men
Angel came and rolled the stone away.
He rose and declared to the World that "All power had been given unto me".

He directs his disciples to "Go ye therefore and teach all nations,
baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy
Ghost. Matthew 28:19
And when he spoke these things, he was taken up and a Cloud received him
out of their sight. For the same way you see him going, he is coming back
the same way. Acts 1:9-11
The Religion of his Name is Wonderful
It will make you laugh and cry
It will be like fire shut up in your bones.
Try Jesus for He is Wonderful.
