Well, yeah, as Doug said, we're starting a new series, our Advent series today, his great names. And we're gonna be looking at, we're gonna use Isaiah 9 as a jump-off point, where some of the prophetic names of the Messiah, Jesus, are given to us. It's kind of a, it's a pretty famous text. And so why don't we just start there? Let's take a look at this text. At the time, when Isaiah gave this prophecy, I don't think that they necessarily knew that they were talking about Jesus. But they did know that God was gonna send somebody to redeem Israel and redeem the world. And so, this is what Isaiah says. For us, a child is born, a son is given, the government will be on his shoulders, and he will be called. Now this is just the normal language in Hebrew for when a child is born, and the mother and the father, they give the child the name. And so this is gonna be the name of the child. Wonderful counselor, mighty God, everlasting father, prince of peace, of the greatness of his government and peace there will be no end. So we're gonna take a look at wonderful counselor today. If you're, if you hear in English, wonderful counselor, well, that sounds like what? Sounds like a really good therapist, right?

So he's scared to touch anything without like a cloth to protect him from germs. He has Tourette syndrome. And I, if you don't know what that is, that's why the movie is PG-13 when he describes what that is. And so he is looking for help. And so he goes to a world-renowned psychologist and they're having their very first meeting and he's told Dr. Leo Marvin all of the things that are wrong with him.
