# Mighty God

> Personal. Never use it to judge professional fit. Written December 2024, Church notes. For what’s current, see https://garrettwinder.com/agents.md.

- Isaiah 61:1-2
- During a chaotic season of their life the prophecy of 9:6 is given.
- Zoo in China got caught painting puppies like baby pandas so people will come.
- People wanted their money back because they had one expectation and got something different.
- Unmet expectations drive us crazy.
- Deep yearning within our soul for a savior (whether we believe in God or not)
- Someone to deliver us from the pain and suffering of this world.
- Our natural response is escape.
- Natural for us to aspire to be like our hero’s.
- We begin to place messianic expectations on people in our life (oops).
- No human being can live up to messianic expectations.
- Side note: Holy Spirit authors all of the Bible through the scribes of the Bible.
- Isaiah 9:6

1. Jesus is “Mighty God”
  - Devine warrior and savior
  - He’s not weak he’s meek
  - Because Jesus is mighty, he can do for us what we cannot do for ourselves.
  - Our bill doesn’t get paid unless we surrender our life to Jesus.
  - If we don’t, we are on the hook for the bill.
  - Jesus is God
  - Mark 2:8-10
  - Jesus is not a way, he’s The way. The only way to get to the top of the mountain.
2. Jesus is an “Everlasting Father”
  - John 1:1,4
  - Jesus is eternal (this is a specific belief of Christian’s, and the only way to be saved is to believe this).
  - Everlasting Father: protector, provider, source of life.
  - Circumstances do not have anything to do with the truth of the above.
3. Jesus is the true Messiah
  - BTW Isaiah was written 700 years before Jesus was born.
  - Jesus said “today is the day this happened”
  - Luke 4:17-21
