“Of the increase of His government and peace there will be no end.” ISAIAH 9:7
He
MUST increase. Isaiah tells us that there will be no end of the
increase of His government and peace. In the beginning was the Word, and
we can see how God
has worked steadily from the beginning to increase Christ. From types
and shadows in the Old Testament we see Christ coming into view. Then
the Word is made flesh and dwells among us, and Christ is increased yet
again. Next He comes to dwell within us, and this is a major increase.
Finally, He begins to conform us to His own image through His indwelling
Life.
If we are
growing up into Him then He is increasing daily. Eventually every knee
will
bow and every tongue will confess that Jesus Christ is Lord. Beyond
this, we are told that God will continue to reveal His Son in the ages
to come, bringing us into depths and dimensions of Christ that we cannot
fathom.
