The prophet Isaiah speaks of the “Name” of the Child, and if we know something of Bible symbolism, we know that we are now going to learn something fundamental, for in the Bible, the name of anything means the character or nature of that thing. A name is not merely an arbitrary label, but actually a hieroglyph of the soul. We are given no less than five names or qualities of the Child.
First Isaiah says that the name of the Child is Wonderful. The word wonderful used here requires careful scrutinization. As employed in the Bible, it implies a miracle – just that, and nothing else. The Bible repeatedly says that miracles can happen, and it gives detailed and circumstantial accounts of many specific cases. Moreover, it says that miracles always will happen if you believe them to be possible, and are willing to recognize the power of God, and to call upon it.
As soon as the Child is born in you consciousness, the miracle will come into your life. This does not mean simply that you will become resigned to your present circumstances, or that you will then be enabled to meet the same difficulties with a higher courage or a clearer brain. It means the miracle.
But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible (Mathew 19:26).
We open to door to miracles in our lives when we believe they are possible through the power of God and then call on that power in our lives. While we must accept human limitation, we must also accept that, through God, those limitations are nonexistent. It is when we release our bondage to human limits through God that we tap into unlimited power and potential. Then we sow the seeds for miracles and through our faith and God’s will bring those miracles to full bloom. Then we will find ourselves in our garden.
