驚くべき 救い主の御名 (探求の書シリーズ)│ Amazing Names of Messiah (Japanese Discovery Series Booklet)

すべての名にまさる側名

 名前は、人間関係において重要な意味があります。そして、神との関係においては名前がさらに重要です。著者ビル・クラウダーは、イザヤ書9章6節に記された「不思議な助言者」 「力ある神」「永遠の父」「平和の君」という神の御名に注目し、これらの名から、神はどのようなお方なのか、私たちが神を信頼できる根拠は何なのかを解き明かします。

"A good name is to be chosen rather than great riches." - Proverbs 22:1

During World War II, my father-in-law spent 18 months in a prisoner-of-war camp.  In the camp, loudspeakers often played music, and one of the songs that was heard repeatedly was "Lili Marlene." Somehow it gave him hope, and he fell in love with the beauty of that name.  Years later he gave that name, which was filled with personal significance, to his only daughter—my wife Marlene. 

Names are like that.  They have great importance in human relationships.  Nowhere, however, is a name more important than in our relationship with the Living Lord.  In a way that sets Him apart from all others, He ties His name to His reputation, and then to His own self-introduction as "God with us."  This booklet is about the amazing prophecy of Isaiah 9:6, where the prophet, 700 years before the coming of Messiah, described the One whose names revealed His importance to us.
