The Names of God - Everlasting Father

Everlasting Father
Isaiah 9:6 For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.

Christ was certainly, The Father of His Country, for while on earth He declared that He came from heaven where He had been through the eternal past. For Him, whose Fatherland was the universe, and whose age is eternity, the glory is that He is the Christ of all ages. The mystery our finite minds cannot understand is that although the Everlasting Father, He became a child.

God, your word here tells me that Jesus is the Everlasting Father. To my human mind, it is hard for me to understand this. But since you say it is, I accept it because you are a God of truth. All earthly fathers will leave the world after reaching their allocated span, but you, the Everlasting Father will never die. For you live forever to bless your people with fatherly love and provision.
