The You're going to do you.

Do you do you do you do you do

But today on Truth for Life, Alistair Begg shows us how that same baby fulfilled some very powerful

roles.

And we'll find out how each of the roles he fulfilled

makes a difference in our lives today.

Last time as we looked at the beginning of chapter 9 in verse 6 6a we considered the

identity of this child and the authority of this child. And now this morning we look

together at the activity of this child as it is conveyed by way of these four names.

Most of us, if we have any knowledge of the Bible at all,

may not necessarily be as synonymous with a grasp and understanding of what is here for us to know.

unparalleled counselor. Earthly Kings, Earthly Presidents and rulers of

countries all are surrounded by advisors and by counselors.
