The prophet says Jesus would be called “Mighty God.” When was Jesus ever called “Mighty God”?
Perhaps Thomas (remember “doubting Thomas”), who when he saw the resurrected Jesus, exclaimed, “My Lord and My God!” (John 20:28). Or maybe the Apostle Paul who said Jesus was supreme over the universe, having all the fullness of God (Col. 1:19). Or perhaps Philip who wanted to see the Father, and to whom Jesus replied, “He who has seen Me has seen the Father.”? (John 14:9) All of these came to a point of seeing the Mighty God in Jesus Christ. But perhaps the ones who were moved most were those who experienced the power of God personally. Consider the blind men who couldn’t contain themselves in Matthew 9:27-34. Go ahead, take a minute and read the account.
Scenes like this happened often in Jesus’ ministry. Likewise, there were those who would not believe that Jesus’ power came from the Mighty God in heaven. In the same passage what do you note of the response by the Pharisees? Why do you think they responded this way?
While there are people today who do not/will not believe Jesus as the Mighty God, one day, the Bible says, everyone will bow down and admit that indeed, Jesus Christ is Lord. (Phil. 2:11)
To consider: Do you know Jesus as the Mighty God? When have you experienced his power in such a way that you could not help but react as the blind men did? Take a moment and consider the mighty power of God, and pray that He might reveal that power in specific areas of your life.
